I Want to Make a Difference In the World

I used to. I wanted to get my fine arts degree and join the peace corps..or work for UNICEF. I wanted to work with children all over the globe helping them cope with trauma through art. I wanted it since I was a kid myself. Now when I say this is what I want to do it doesn't sound genuine. Its just out if habit I tell people now. It sounds unrealistic. My dreams aren't the same. In fact they are oddly simple now.
I can't have kids so I thought I'd be a mother to the world. I thought I was strong enough for that. I've been through so much and I'm still standing. After last year though everything changed. I'm bitter. I lost this very bright thing about me. My kindness has turned to silence and selfishness. I see it. I watch myself. How can I change back. I miss the girl that wanted to make a difference. I was into the feminist movement, human rights, and love in general. Now I dont give a shit to be honest. I dont care. I only care when it comes to myself and even then I dont really care.
I still very much know that there is that person still in me. I know in my heart these are things I want. I just dont know how to truly live for it like in did before.

That girl you say you lost isn't unreachable, She's still very much there (hence wanting to find her again). Though you may have been consumed by darkness due to event it doesn't mean new light Can't be found? (What do you feel you need/want? (First thought in your mind)
