I don't want to feel empty anymore. I don't want to feel alone. I don't want to feel vulnerable, helpless, and lost. I don't want a cavity in my chest. I don't want to cry about how beautiful a pink flower is against the sky.

There is something missing here. There is more to life.

I want to do something about the world. Having thought about it a lot lately, I might join the peace corps for a year after college. I need to at least try to make a difference.
