What do you want to be when you grow up?
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?
Make Money
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.
Working from Home
Phone calls.
Video conferences.
Once so alien a concept.
Now more common place.
Yet, the stigma still remains.
Not 100%
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.
Jokes Aside
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.
Night Conversations
I know he is sleeping
From the snores
Emanating from him.
It is the full throat noises
-no words-
Where I can almost make out
what he says in his sleep.
Still, I envy him
As I lie awake
Listening to him
Unable to join him
In his night conversations.
Losing money
Whether in a game
Or in real life.
It can be devastating.
It was just the cat, Right?
Running away.
Hiding in the basement.
Scared of the monsters.
They make no noise.
Then you see their claws.
Reaching for your leg.
The pressure from their grab
is like 4 pointy stingers.
Yet, they don’t hurt?
Wait, the pressure is now on my stomach?
Oh, good morning.
Cat breath is a wonderful scent right now!
When things get worse
Just when life looks like it is going better
something comes up
to remind you
that life sucks
and that happiness truly is fleeting.
I wonder why pain never seems to go away?
