Your early twenties are supposed to be the peak of your life

But thinking about it im too busy thinking about the things I need to get done before my late twenties to really feel good about it lol

The twenties stopped being a goal, its just a countdown

It's just one of those days again.

There is an anger raging within me at the passive aggression on social media by a neighbour, it intermingles with some remorse, some sadness, at having been a source of annoyance for someone else, why do I have empathy I do not want to feel empathetic towards this girl's problems. And doubt. It has returned, it swirls, it storms. The frozen tornado now moving once again, there are questions and envy and confusion.

I am stewing in a soup of 'I don't know what I'm doing'.

Meanwhile, I am painfully cognisant of what I should be doing. 

(But, a professor has recommended a poem that he thinks is good for reading out loud, so maybe I'll abandon my 'do's and my 'should's and just read.)

A Quick Note on Male Normative/Default

Now I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying it's an interesting phenomenon I'd like to look into. That the term "Brotherhood", which ostensibly refers to a group of Men, it is often used to refer to a group with more genders than just Men.

While it is a terrible example, I noticed that a Gears of War 3 advertisement said "Brothers to the End" and featured the three main characters, two Men and a Woman. 

I was just reading about how the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has about 600,000 Men and 400,000 Women. 

And I know that the Co-Ed Fraternities at UCI are considered Brotherhoods. 

Interesting, huh?
