Excuses.
Grass is greener where you water
A short story about myself and most people around me.
Wake up at 6, grumpy and moody.
As protest, I snooze my alarm, it is now 6.30.
I wish I had more time to rest.
I dislike work, I don’t see a purpose in me working.
It hurts my eyes, my back and my brain.
I scroll social media as protest
“Wow, my friends are so successful”
I wish I had a better job.
I go for lunch, options are meh.
It’s always the same few options.
I want to go somewhere further but work does not permit.
I wish I had more freedom.
Work ends at 5, I go back home, with around 4 hours to bed time.
I finally had time to fulfil those wishes.
I could sleep early, upskill myself, explore the country, meet up with loved ones.
No.
I doomscroll, my eyes hurt more from the small screen.
My jealousy grows as I compare myself to others.
My ‘freedom’ compromised further as my reality is unchanged.
So many wishes, so little time?
Grass is always greener where you water it.
