All the things...

There is all of this pressure to vote but I feel like we're screwed either way.
This planet is trashed and hardly anyone seems to care.
Innocent people are dying undeserving deaths everyday while evil people are thriving.
Saw something about Russia planning a nuclear attack on the U.S.???
I can't.
I'm about to graduate with a ton of debt and that reality is starting to hit.
I'm so tired of being poor.
Will the earth be able to repair itself once we all die out?
I hit so many butterflies with my car everyday.
The news is terrifying.
Commercials make me sick.
All I want to do is save animals and take naps.

I feel like I'm in this weird sort of mental, spiritual awareness limbo--I see what the world is and I see my role in it as of right now and recognize that it needs to change.  I need to change.  And I feel like I'm right--there.  Just one more step, and I'd be there.  Living the life I crave, doing what I know needs to be done.  But for some reason I'm still clinging to the life I know.  Maybe I'm afraid people will think I'm being too extreme.  Maybe I'm afraid I'll try and won't be successful.  It's so easy to just stay this way.  But I can't.  I won't.

"Many people who are going through the early stages of the awakening process are no longer certain what their outer purpose is.  What drives the world no longer drives them.  Seeing the madness of our civilization so clearly, they feel somewhat alienated from the culture around them.  Some feel that they inhabit a no-man's-land between two worlds.  They are no longer run by the ego, yet the arising awareness has not yet become fully integrated into their lives.  Inner and outer purpose have not merged."
-Eckhart Tolle
