Trapped between extremes
May 29, 2025•114 words
I am not ultra rich
nor very poor
I'm not in a big mansion
or homeless
I don't want less
but I try not to want too much more.
There are 24 hours
16 for work
so not quite 8 for sleep
what to do
to meet my basic needs?
I could give it up
I could strive for more
but why kill myself in the process
and why go back to the streets
that I knew before?
There must be a sweet spot
and it's that sweet spot I need to find
the enemy is not so much fear of failing
or the work I do
it is simply finding enough free time.
