lost & confused

I found this piece on my computer with a note that says "I don't know where I'm going with this, but I was feeling pretty mad when I wrote it". So, now I shall share it with the Internet.

So here it is:

I never liked the idea of romanticizing the state of being lost and confused. It seems like we're all indulging the idea of being so; we no longer look for a way out. The way fictional works portray being lost and confused has influenced a great deal of people to think that it's cool (glares at quirky indie films), but it isn't. It's natural to feel like we don't where we're going. You are allowed to feel lost and confused, but you need to look for ways to get back on the right rack. You can't wait for someone to find you, because no one will come for you if you don't move and look for help. The romanticizing of this idea is a hindrance to your success.

Now, here's a MS Paint drawing I created of a screencap of an imaginary indie film about a quirky waitress who had a huge rare meme collection that was stolen.  So now she is feeling lost and confused and tries to find meaning to her life again.
