A Refresh Day
Also referred to as the day after you survive another round of layoffs.
Here I sit with the entire day to think. Having survived another round of layoffs we were gifted a refresh day. So here I sit, thinking, pondering and wondering if this is really where I want to be. Is this the life I want to live, constantly living by the whim of other peoples decisions. Do we even have a choice of our place in the world, or is the mental fortitude too much to break out of the cycle. Its easy for people to scream about happiness on YouTube and Instagram and pretend to be guru’s of life, but really these are not bound in reality. They are monotonous talking heads that really just love the sound of their own voices, to give them vindication, to feed their emptiness. I think the only way out of this is compounding progress, little by little, day by day. But that in itself is difficult as we are indoctrinated to go for the quick reward instead of looking at where we want to be in the future.
The wheel just keeps spinning, the longer it spins the more complacent I find myself becoming. How do we break this cycle? Or are we meant to die without ever having known.
