More to life

So I guess this is it, this is me leaving. I am going now, finally going and doing it.
I so want to leave this life behind, I want to drive this consumerist lifestyle out of myself. I want to stop gazing in admiration at music videos, wishing to be like the beautiful, slim girls in magazines. Stop driving for physical perfection that means nothing. For material perfection that means nothing. Because when you achieve it, what exactly happens then? I doubt it fulfils you, how ever could it?
We need purpose, my world tells me my purpose is to look good, have nice things, live a glamourous lifestyle.
I am none of these things. I can make myself miserable trying, or I can make a change.
So I am going to India, volunteering, looking after slum children. Broadening my horizons and opening my mind.
Because really, there has got to be more to life than this.
