Disillusionment is an exciting time in a person's life. I think it should be an accepted stage of the human life cycle. Get a job, get partnered, buy something really expensive, and get disillusioned. It's a good thing to become aware that no matter what we do out there it will never make us happy in here. There's freedom in this awareness and despair.
After disillusionment... have a kid... get a tatoo... or maybe make a blog site...
Anything just so you don't notice.
