Break the loop

*Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt*

You open your eyes.

You reach for the alarm.

And turn it off.

Sleep deprived.

Contemplating everything.

You sit at the edge of the bed.

Staring at the wall.

Sighing deeply.

You put your clothes on.

Take your morning shit.

Force feed.

Brush your teeth.

Grab your things and then head out.

You commute around 1 hour to work.

Struggling to board the fully packed train.

Standing there with one stranger’s face in front of you.

And another stranger’s breath on your neck.

You finally arrive at work.

With your boss already handing out orders.

Deciding what you need to do.

How long you need to do it.

When you may take your break.

Who you may take it with.

It’s 5 o’clock.

You repeat the commuting ride home.

Because once wasn’t enough.

You arrive home.

Exhausted.

With barely any time and energy to work on your dreams.

You eat something.

Take a shower.

Prepare for the next day.

And hit the sheets earlier than desired.

To avoid sleep deprivation.

You fall asleep.

*Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt*

You open your eyes…

Is this what you’re willing to settle for?

Is this good enough for you?

Just because everyone around you says so?

Open your eyes for real this time.

See the world for what it is.

Realize that this game is rigged to keep you weak, broke, and docile.

Demand better from yourself.

Prioritize what’s best for you.

Not what others tell you is best for you.

What do they know about what’s best for you?

Nothing!

You must take matters into your own hands.

You must break the loop.

Once and for all.

Give up short term pleasure.

Give up instant gratification.

Give up the care of others’ opinions.

Give up society’s laid out path.

You’re better than this.

I know you are!

Now, get to work!
