we work so hard
to keep the lights on,
to pay the bills,
to scrape up rent.
and it's all a trap.
one day, you're happy
without expectations,
without want,
and the next,
you're stuck
in a meaningless job,
wondering where your life went.
and you ask yourself,
is this it? am i really busting
my ass to stay
stagnant?
and that's all there is.
you find out that all
the stuff
you have been told you should want
can fall away, or be taken away
in an instant. all the stuff is meaningless
and contributes nothing
to the face of reality.
in fact,
it makes you miserable.
-the house you will never pay off.
-the car that breaks down
-the clothes they tell you to wear
that were made in a sweatshop
it is all
meaningless
when you look at the big picture.
so it comes down to what you really need.
-food
-a place to sleep
-happiness
so do what makes you happy.
failures are not failures,
they are steppingstones to success.
so keep at it until you're where you want to be.
this is no one's life but your own.
be your dreams.
