Funny Way of Feeling Less

You spend your entire life running the race. You try and keep up the pace. You can barely breathe. All of your energy drains from your veins. Until there is nothing left you continously give it your all. Then something happens. Something so significant and you are stimied. All operations come to a screeching halt. Flashes of the past start to present themselves and take shape. From start to finish your primary memories of childhood glory are omnipresent and you take a moment to bask in its glory. Like sunshine basking in it we enjoy the life we once had. Flash forward to the present; things take an interesting shape. The job you worked so hard for, painstakingly strived for, bled for, shed sweat and tears into no longer matters. Things change like the blink of one's eye. When this takes place you finally make the realization that its time to move on. No more rat race. No more thankless moments or hours. No more lost personal moments for the benefit of the underbelly. And as you take a breath in and expel its dioxides into the environment you take a moment, the same moment to realize that its not about what you can give back to "the man" rather what you can give back to yourself, society, those appreciative and those in need. So its time for a change.

From this point when its realized time to go you pack up your belongings sans rucksack rather just what your worn-torn hands can take and stride proudly forward. Ending the decade, ending the era. You gave it your best, but time is up and the road ahead is bright with light, appreciative and a vote of promise for a not so distant and beautiful future.
