Nothing and No One...

I've also come to find out that no one needs you in your most solemn part of life and you're supposed to not need anyone.

You are expected to care for yourself fully and just deal with the hardships that come with being alone.
You are expected to cope with the constant watch over yourself with the high expectation of a good inner voice.

Introversion vs. Introspection.
It's bizarre to me that people still expect the average 18 year old to be able to fend for themselves even following a major economic crisis which has forced people to combine families with other families. 

How can we love the place we live if the costs of living are so high and high demand for the metropolitan area? How can they show successful youth when in reality we are dying to just have food in our fridge.

And you can just say fuck you to the technological portion. If you don't have the money to stay with times you might as well go fuck yourself.  Even in our institutions we are expected to stay with the technological times. Evolution is no longer a debate between the scientific evidence and the divine but now an argument over biology versus evolution.
