Time

I feel like right now, I don’t have enough time on my hands. Too little time to do mundane things like conforming to social norms of graduating a university course and then getting thrust into the world of routine work ethic of working 9-5 on a salary that will barely make ends meet. Not enough time to explore the hidden pleasures of travel and astrology because the economy says we can’t without having a stable job; which would effectively take up approximately 40 hours of our week, making it impossible to get anywhere.

I realise now that from kindergarten, we’re taught to become successful; with the hopes of one day reeling in the cash that would sustain a comfortable life. No one understands the meaning of life, because as far as we know and can see; life is the equivalent of success and money. So what is it that we need? More time? Or just more money?
