My Life Sucks - Big Time … !

I’m turning 25. I’ve done everything I was supposed to do in my life. I stayed in school, I got good grades. I enlisted in the Air Force for 4 years, and I started going to college after my military service ended. Of course, I can’t get a job. 4 years of experience and a security clearance isn’t enough. I’m stuck living with my dad, and he hates me. My whole family is completely embarrassed, so I’ve shut myself off from them all. The one friend I did have was going through the exact same situation until he got kicked out of his mom’s house, and I haven’t talked to him in months. I did everything life says you’re supposed to do. I played by the rules. I followed the directions. I worked hard. And all it got me was enough unemployment benefits to pay a portion of my father’s rent for the last 2 years. This is the American Dream on display, kids. Work hard, do your best, and you’ll fail miserably!
