So, I've been realizing more and more in the past few months that mine is what one might call a "cookie cutter life". I have a budding career that is paying well. I have a pretty wife. I'm just about to finish my undergraduate degree. I'm 23. I've been in the military. I've gone over seas.

I look to my future and I have to say that it's starting to seem, in a word, boring. I'm starting to question if this "American Dream" I'm following is a farse.

I really want to do something with my life that is productive. Not just on a personal level but also with the community. I want to affect large quantities of people. I want to feel like I'm part of something that is important. When I was in the military I felt that way. Although I don't support bloodshed in order to further political agendas; I felt part of something that was important when I was enlisted. (I got out because of my wife, btw.)

The main theme in all of this isn't that I want back in the military. I just want to have an exciting life that isn't just like another copy from a mold.

Does anyone else ever feel like this? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'll take the slap to the side of the head and a "Shut the fuck up you pussy" if that's all it is. I know I have an easy life. But I'm bored silly.
