Do you need time?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
The prompt today is such a great one that it has many layers to it the deeper you look at it…
Asking this to a child the answer would be a big yes and they get to play more and be themselves more…
Asking this to a teenager who is surrounded by studies and stresses they’d say yes too, A student would say they’d get more time to sleep and work on things they like,
Whereas those under mountain of pressure would surely reject it…
A working individual would say they’d love to have time but for themselves too,
If it were a part of work they better be paid for it equally;
A retired individual would say yes too, they’d get the maximum out of their lives if they’re going out to visits places that they haven’t, making it a once in a lifetime thing…
But,
A person who is struggling with a disease they’d definitely say no, not to have any second more of the pain and constant stresses that come with it…
A person with a disability like depression and schizophrenia or anything that makes them agitated and lash out on themselves or those around them, they’d definitely say no to that too…
A person who has lost all interest in life and living paycheque to paycheque surviving each and every month would definitely want time that goes to bringing themselves up unfortunately that’s not the sort of world we live in and often over exploitation is a thing and haunts us all…
A person who is on their deathbed waiting for its sweet embrace they want more and more time away from it, but on the contrary a person fighting with it all the time wants none of it…
For me I do need time,
To complete all these pieces that I’m writing and working on but most of the time is eaten up by work and things that demand my attention at home, leaving me with next to none…
And I know if I get more of it, a big chunk of it will go to my family and work instead of me or my growth; but that’s how life goes for me and I hope better for you…
Cheers 🥂
