I'm depressed and I want to share. I made a post about that movie "Into The Wild", it moved me. Minus his idiot mistake, I don't want to be dead, but I want to be out in the wild.

Anyone who has seen my post in the Trip Planning section has heard me talk about going out west. Hopefully to Yosemite for a month. Then to the grand tetons or glacier.

But in the past two weeks, I've totaled my car (didn't have full coverage, it was a clunker already) and I got laid off this week. And to top it off, I'm 25, single not really financial stable yet. I don't know what the hell I want to do with my life or myself. All I know is I want to be out in the freaking wilderness. I've been talking about this trip since Dec. My g/f supports the idea, she wants me to go do it. But my family. well I'm just irrational and making stupid choices, and it doesn't make sense why someone in my position would be fantasizing about some trip I can't afford. I should be thinking about a career and working 24/7 and trying to survive in that futile rat race. I should just kill my heart and get over it.

Hearing that, I don't even know how my trip is gonna be possible. If it is even realistic. At this point, half the time I just want to be dead.

Blah, is how I feel right now.
