How About We Started Living


You go to work or you study,

you gather degrees or money

-what about happiness? 

You cope with a full time work load, seven days a week,

you keep on living when you can’t even breathe

 -why doesn’t that Saturday ever come?

You were supposed to enjoy yourself on this imaginary weekend.

Life goes on and you do what other people do,

because you think this is what people should be doing.

You close your eyes and you dream about a week in the Canary islands,

and you should know that this is what we all dream of when we close our eyes,

because most of us are building a life from which we want to escape. 

Day after day, you are knitting a web around your neck.

Life goes on, but you are missing it.

So, I am asking you now:

Do you think that is okay?

  1. Not at all. I believe you have made the first step towards escaping. However, I also believe the first is not the biggest step needed.

  2. Sometimes we never escape. Sometimes we keep dreaming and consider it to be enough.
