Righteous Indignation.

 So.  Over the past few months, my life has settled down into a substance resembling vanilla soft-serve.  I have a steady cubicle job, a daily routine, a devoted boyfriend, and plenty of free time to waste.  Some might call this contentment.  But it's driving me a little crazy.

I feel like I need some sort of struggle or adversity in my life.  A cause to feel passionate about, a gross injustice at which to take an indignant stance.  Because living my life like I am now threatens to bring down the brainsmothering blanket of apathy.  My writing has suffered for it, I'm certain. 

Hmm, I just got a call that my credit card has been compromised and they're shutting down my account, but that still just doesn't do it for me.

Anyone else ever feel like this?

I would offer to be your enemy, but frankly, I don't think you're ready for the likes of me. I am an experienced nemesis.

Yes. Then I became a political and, now, union organizer. Now I get to fight The Man virtually every day. It may be a strange way to struggle (I, too, have a cubicle), but I get to work for something much larger than myself. In a nutshell, I suggest fighting The Man.

There's always grad school.

If a customer service job has taught me anything, it's that one can take an indignant stance on absolutely anything.  It actually seems to get easier as it becomes more and more ridiculous.  So, one approach would be to just pick something.  Anything.  Anything at all...

Your mileage may vary, naturally.

start saving for something fun and goal-ish. Like for you maybe some awesome writing conference, and if you want to, pick a conference in Hawaii or Los Angeles or New York or Florida, or a place you've simply never been before.
