Is it a good option?
What does it take to implement it?
Can it be afforded right now?
How impactful is this?
Answers to these questions
Are nothing if you are not willing
To take the actions moving forward.
Life can be a very viable option
But only if the quality of the life lived is valued.
The question is who determines what is valuable versus viable?
Best friends.
Lovers.
Tea talk companions.
Life partners?
Marriage is out of the question.
But the one thing is the trust that we have in each other.
Error.
Error.
Problem alert.
Functions are not normal.
Standard procedures are not working.
Please unplug and restart.
Except if I unplug myself
I do not think anyone would be able to restart me.
So the aches and pains will stay
As my performance is below par.

The first question asked on the road to adulthood.
Too bad it is never an easy one.
For most people the ideas are endless
and we are all compared to each other.
Can we be the best at what we choose to do?
Or merely unsatisfied,
living day to day
trying to make ends meet?
Do a side hustle.
Find the right career.
Persuade people to finance you.
Give time and energy to the project.
Find your passion.
Except when you have no energy or passion to give
the only thing left is the charity of others.
Don’t cross the streams.
Bad things happen to good people.
Face your fears.
Let go of your fears.
Aim high, you are less likely to shoot your foot off.
Go down the road less traveled.
Force yourself out of your comfort zone.
Play it safe!
Yet the worst one is trust your instincts.
Sometimes your gut instincts are fooled by the logic your head thinks is right.
Phone calls.
Video conferences.
Once so alien a concept.
Now more common place.
Yet, the stigma still remains.
When it lingers.
You do what you can,
but it still takes up the energy
you wish you could use
for more important things.
So you push yourself
even though you won’t get better.
But life doesn’t care.
It still moves on
and being sick
only means that you lose more time.
For yourself
and for your loved ones.
Puns are dumb.
Laughter is contagious.
Pranks are awful.
Yet we do them anyway.
Humour is seen as sexy.
Just don’t let the twisted version take control.
Too many jokers and we won’t be safe at all.
