I've had a lot of time to think lately and some of you might think that a bad thing, but I just wanted to share those thoughts.
A lot has happened to me in the last 10 months, things that I couldn't have possibly imagined. Some were choices of mine, some were the choices of others, and yet others are simple circumstance. In fact, so much has happened, that I am still racing to catch upto it all. A lot of the people I know seem to feel the same.
I'm left looking at this time passed, how things are now, and how "this isn't how it's supposed to be" and how I struggled to change the world around me, tried to make sense of it all. I don't think either is possible, I am just met with loss and bitter defeat in the case of the former and more questions with respect to the later.
What if ours is not the place to affect change upon others? For to do so, is to say that "my way is the right way" a most ignorant stance. There is no right way to live, different things make different people happy. I wonder what might have happened if I tried to adapt to how life unfolded before me, instead of trying to change everything to my liking, so that things fell in line with "the plan" of life how I wanted it. For truly, nothing REAL ever goes "according to plan" only movies and television, life has no script, just a stage to live on.
My close freinds often look to me for advice, and I've been told that I make things happen, that I motivate people. I was always quick to try and solve the problem at hand, funny how it always seems to work out for them, or my warnings are correct. Why I can't live my own life like that, I might never know.
Any feedback or advice would be well appreciated.
Sincerely,
Evan.
Just some passing thoughts...

Wow man, what you describe rings true for what many younger people face and experience as they grow and start to learn more and more about life and society and this world in the modern day.
I too have met many similar type things like those you describe.
As for advice for this, I bet millions of people around the world have as much of a clue as you and I - very little.
There's some heavy shit goin down during our era on this planet, some of it great and wonderous to be a part of, some of it disgraceful.
I say.. More beer.

BEER
trying to control your life only causes stress and anguish. accept fate, and don't question the events that shape your life.
drink often, party hard, meet as many people as you can, and use condoms.

How does the saying go? ... Only a fool has himself as an attorney. I think a similar parallel can be drawn as it relates to people seeking advice. Look outside yourself, to a peer group, respected professional, etc. If I were to reflect on what I have learned over the fast 10 years I would have to say that the vast majority of that material relates to developing a greater sense of self, realizing my capabilities and limitations, and nurturing the ability to observe things as an objective third party. If you take the time to take yourself out of the situation, frequently the answer will reveal itself. I think everyone eventually finds their niche – either through hard headedness or pensive planning. Anyway, I think I am rambling and I not sure that I am making sense.
