The struggle that is life.

High School=Take tests, get good grades, and think about nothing but the future.

Yesterday, I spent quite some time thinking about the above mentioned "equation". Then, I wondered: for what?
For struggling once again in an extremely competitive college? For struggling in an extremely competitive job? For never having true fun in my life?
Not to be absurdist, but it seems as if all we do is yearn for more struggle!
Maybe, Albert Camus was right in his interpretation of the great Sisyphus, who was condemned to the same meaningless task in hell. Maybe that is exactly what all of us humans are condemned to: the same meaningless task on Earth (don't want to be super negative and call Earth hell).
Maybe, life is absurd that way, in the sense that we all want to "get ahead" in life, but all we end up doing is yearn for more and more, never truly feeling accomplished and happy with what we have. Maybe, God, or god, or some supernatural being, or evolution created us so that we would always just keep on struggling in this meaningless struggle, trying to be top of the chain and famous, etc. I mean, why do we earn money? We do it in order to have a good life, but even when we do "have the dream life" we wanted, we always yearn for more. It's always more, more, more. We are never just content with what we have and can never truly be happy. So why? Why does it even matter?

I Am From

I am from...

I am from a beautiful country with too many mosquitoes
Grandma's with too much food to feed you with
crazy Indian movies with very catchy tunes
Too many festivals, lots of color and light.

I am from watching TV late at night
Technological advances in gaming devices
“lol”, “brb”, and “ttyl”
Being on line too much, but not doing anything.

I am from scraped knees, bruises, and bleeding noses
Broken toes and fingers, dislocated elbows, and stitches
Visits to the doctor's office, and tetanus shots
Disgusting injuries, but becoming alright again.

I am from running on hot days with blisters and pulled muscles
Annoying the neighbors by singing too loud in the shower late at night
Debating this, debating that, debating this AND that
Reading books for ten hours straight.

I am from traveling across the world
New places, new faces
New beginnings, and new ends
New friends and old friends.

I am from the time when Pluto was a planet
But also from Century number 21
A new millennium
But great old times.
