I've spent my entire life playing it safe. 

I've worked almost non-stop since I was old enough.

Never was a big party person. 

Put myself through years of junior college and finally through university. Never got to take those backpacking trips or semesters abroad because of bills and responsibilities.

Never really went out and did wild things because I had to work the next day or that night, or because I always had some assignment due and I had to complete every one.

I took  a degree in Anthropology because I was good at it and I loved it. Plus the department was full of wonderful, like-minded people. Although I never really hung out with any of them. 

I did everything I was supposed to, and I am miserable.

I've alienated all of my friends because I've always worked as much as possible and focused heavily on school. 

I am lonely.

I am bitter.

I am full of so much wanderlust I am ready to explode.
