Today I went to work as a janitor for a hospital and was happy to make it home after a long, exhausting, tedious eight hour workday.
My job makes me appreciate my free time even more than I did before getting said job.
Not only because I trade my time for money (and not the other way around) but because seeing so many sick and injured people makes me realize that we are living on borrowed time.
My nieces and nephew are growing up so fast and my parents are now senior citizens.
My sisters and I are in our 30’s and I am the only one that isn’t married.
It feels like time is leaving me behind.
I also want to make more money to buy back my time.
I don’t want to work 30 more years to retire by the time my best years are behind me.
I see so many old people at work that get abandoned by their loved ones and get put into rehabilitation centers because they become a burden.
And now I realize that time is undefeated and that I am fighting the ravages of time.
I don’t know what will happen but I do know is that I have to invest more aggressively because I don’t want to work until I am about to kick the bucket.
I also want to start a family. Leave a piece of me behind.
And, lastly I want to repair my relationship with God because as I get older I want to believe that there is a Creator who has my best interests at heart.
