Me and My Random Babbling

Society today expects you to have everything figured out. It expects you to know where you're going and to know what you're all about. If you don't, you're considered a "loser".
Well, I certainly don't have everything figured out. I don't know if I look like I do, but I know that I want to. It's because I feel that everyone else does. It's all of society's mentality. We look around and see that others appear like they have it together, so we try to give off the same image.
We just end up fooling everyone into putting on masks for no other reason than insecurity.
Now, I think almost everyone, deep inside, knows that they dont have it figured out and that not many others (if any) do either.

When I have a problem and someone tells me that everyone deals with that kind of stuff, I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to have my issue be minimized to something routine, something usual.
I want mine to be special, to be payed attention to.
That kind of thing [above this] makes me see that I'm so selfish. I want the world to revolve around me and my problems. I wish I was out of this confining body and through with these human tendencies. I don't want to sin, but I end up sinning anyway. There's a Bible verse about that, though I can't remember what it is.

You know how in 2nd grade you felt so mature, like you could take on anything? You didn't understand that there were things that you couldn't comprehend. Atleast, I know I felt that way. I felt like I knew everything there was to know.
Now I think back to that, I wonder if I'm like that know, and I know the answer is yes. I feel like I know all there is to know. I know a bit about taxes, I know a bit about drugs (all 2nd hand, I might add), a lil bout music, politics, sexuality (2nd hand), driving, and I've had a "job". Wow, I'm still so naive, young, an innocent.
I don't want to become any more worldly than I am, but I know it's bound to happen.
It still amazes me how I can feel like I know everything though. (Because I know I do NOT know everything, I hardly know anything.)
