This commentary is dedicated to all those young adults struggling to separate themselves from the bondage of mediocrity.

The struggles of life are what make living tolerable.  To sleep in the bed of habitual existence is to forgo possibility and to suffer the consequences of perpetual nothingness.  The young adult who lives the same voyage day after day exists not.  S/he is like the stone resting by the sidewalk unnoticed by the pedestrians walking aimlessly by.  It just sits there begging for recognition, but no one cares, for it is nothing but a stone.

To become a person requires one to feel a little anxiety.  Anxiety is a symptom of a need for change.  It is a cry for transcendence emanating from the depths of the human soul.  It screams with all its might.  Its message is simply "SELF!"  But nobody listens.  Instead, they prefer a comfortable existence, no matter how dreary it may be.  Life without anxiety is comfort.  I ask the reader to consider divorcing comfort, and joining me in a life filled with beautiful experiences.  I ask the reader to turn left whenever habit forces him/her to the right.  I ask the reader to embrace anxiety, for it is a proclamation that happiness and true humanness will follow in time.  I ask the reader to make a pledge to not become just another pawn in an endless chess match of mediocrity.  I ask the reader to live a life worthy of the billions of neurons built into these fragile bodies we call our homes.  The choice belongs to the reader, not to me.  I hope s/he chooses to live.
