I'm rolling but I'm not

How do you stop, the days march by much too fast, and it's scary, sometimes, you want to get off, and just watch, sometimes you want to ride the wave all the way down, and sometimes its fun to feel good, no matter what "they" tell you. Don't ever let some square get sour on you. they don;t know anything better than you might, and there is only this once to check it out. Don;t hold yourself back, unless it's gonna put you in Jail, then , for you own sake, dont be stupid, just play their game for awhile, and let the coast clear up. You don't need that down time, and its not fun. It really smashes your social life, and it keeps all those geeky freaks employed, so play it cool, and follow sunny days, and sunny people. May I suggest a place of learning and education. This is where you'll find the most freedom to think, and grow, and opportunities abound for any age. Go back to college, you'll find it does wonders for your head. It gets you back in that buzz of thinking and being , and the people are better than you think. Its great because anyone can go, anytime. Learning never stops, so go down to your local community college, (or aim higher) see what you need to do to get in. You'll be surprised how easy it is. A couple very easy forms, and maybe an assessment test to see where you stand on the basics, and even fill out ther federal forms to get a grant. Let them pay you to go back and learn. Then, I suggest picking something you dont know much about. force yourself to take something that sounds scary. You'd be amazed how it will make you feel , It might take a semester or 2 to get back in the swing of things , but you will, and you'll find the headspace it brings you too is really cool. When you learn something new, and break out of the same old routine, you are fresh again. Who knows, you might even learn enough that you can help someone else who's struggling. If you can reach this point, you've made it. I promise a little thing like going down to your local schools admissions office will change your life. It doesnt matter if you're 20 or 60, just try it, especially if your life is feeling a little stale. It's a great time now, with the economy taking a shit, to get back into it. It's a great time to learn . I wish you luck.
