There comes a time when you eventually get tired of your day to day routine - then you ponder on drastic changes to spice things up. I, on the other hand, have this dilemma at least once in three months. Lately I've been working for several clients, sometimes more clients than I can handle just to earn a substantial amount. I try to choose projects that appeal to me. Unfortunately these are few and far in between. Living in the city is very demanding in almost all aspects of life: financial, mental, psychological, among other aspects. I ask myself, "is it worth making all these sacrifices to live in the city"? I'm in my mid 20's and I'm already tired of working almost 12 hours a day, five days a week. To think that I'll still be working until my late 40's just to support my standard of living is horrifying. Add to the equation that things only get harder, prices just keep getting higher and the climate just keeps getting worse.

If or when I grow old, will I look back at my youth and regret my choices? My peers and I are slowly becoming slaves of currency and trends, sacrificing our time on this earth for worldly desires which are not really necessities. I feel we are just digging our own graves in the way we live our lives - swamped in debt, poor health, slave to our vices, victims of mass media -these are only among the numerous banes within the scourge of society. When you eventually try to get out of your predicament, you find yourself sucked right back in by the very people and things you believe in. Only a handful manages to realize their faults and successfully find their own self, and most of them are ridiculed or are outcasts from society.

At my age I am tired and enraged by the fact that I can only do so little to change my situation. If only a paradigm shift was as easy as writing it down on a sheet of paper.

Something is better than nothing. I hear so many analogies with the same meaning amongst my peers especially when it regards work. When I think about it, sometimes nothing is better than something, just similar to the popular saying, less is more.
