Great post I am right there with you enduring the cubicle hell one day at a time. It's heartbreaking to see these people who have been utterly crushed and many don't even have the will to see it anymore. Buying into the corporate machine, trading their soul away for the security of a paycheck out of fear over the uncertainty of what life could be. Fortunately in your 20's with no attachments its a lot easier to break free.. I'm heading for California myself. Difficult to look too far down the road after that though.
Jad T Jones has a good video along the lines of what you're talking about, he's also a dating coach if you aren't familiar..

Enjoy the journey!
"The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. 'Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.' They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish "the illusion of individuality," but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized."
