Sometimes I wonder what all of this is for. Perhaps that sounds dismal but it's something I think of often. The more I try to educate myself, the more jaded I become about academia, the poetry canon, human nature. And during times when I take a hiatus from academia, I feel restless, useless, as if I should be consuming knowledge, writing always. I wonder if I'll ever be satisfied. Maybe there's something I haven't discovered yet, something that will make all of this more clear. Or maybe I just need to put things into perspective.
I worry that I want too much.

Wanting too much is a good sign/thing. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It comes and goes, our patience gets tested. Stay strong.
