I went through a “stage” similar to what your describing in this blog post… and around the same time too… right before graduation. I think that, no matter how bad it seems at the moment, you need to realize that the future will be entirely different. You will meet new people and try new things all of which will boost your self-esteem. Chin up, things will get better. You’ll look back at this blog posting in 10 years and be like… wow I was a good writer when I was young.. AND things are totally different now.

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
- e.A. Poe
