   I think SMBC is right: Being an adult is, in many respects, way easier than being a kid, but no one cares about you anymore, with the notable exception of your mother.

   It doesn't matter what you do with your life. You could jump off a bridge or drink yourself to death and the world would go on without you. Only truly exceptional people in exceptional circumstances have a chance of gaining any significant recognition for their work.

      Being an anonymous cog in the machine is not a good feeling, but unless you make a unique contribution to society, do you really deserve anything more?

      I want to make such a contribution, but I have yet to find one that I would enjoy making and other people than me would appreciate.

      One thing that annoys me is that you can't test the waters for an idea by explaining it to people. You have to implement several ideas and see which ones stick. That's way too much wasted time and effort.

         I have never understood how people can find the motivation to implement an idea there is no demand for yet.
