It must feel good to be at the top
if so many try to climb the ladder.
I can’t help thinking, though—
is there nothing else but
working day and night for
something I forgot was
once important?
But today, all I want is a life
—one I like—
free of stress,
travelling up and down.
How I regret
I never did what I really liked.
Wait.
Delay.
No courage
to be,
to fight back,
to defend myself.
Countries crossed.
A shot in the neck.
One sigh.
Last thought:
Finally… rest.
Free of worries.
The ladder collapses.
No more climbers—only
witnesses,
keeping silent.

I work for my future. If I have to make sacrifices, I'll make them. The time will come when I'll remember that I said these words and I'll be sitting down drinking a good cup of coffee, working but more relaxed.

Yes, you mentioned before you work for your future, but that doesn't mean you cannot relax if there's no work. Isn't that what holidays are for? If you never take a break, only your family will sit with a good cup of coffee with lots of milk and be relaxed because there is no need to work.
A great Friday, dear @lupega!

What a scolding hahaha, I rest, I have little fun but I do it.
When a person scolds another it means they care, so thank you for your affection for me, I also feel affection for you.

It's not a scolding but a tip, advice, thought, something you should consider.
Trust me, working isn't everything . Time passes by fast. No way you will enjoy your plans in the same way once older as you would today.
You have a cat? How many?

Working is NOT everything, I know, but if I don't work and dedicate myself I will NOT be able to achieve goals, now is the time to do it, it's time to think about my future, I want a more peaceful life when I'm 35, so I have plenty of time to achieve it.
I understand your points, but I know what I'm doing hahaha, that sounds like thanks but I do what I want hahaha, it's NOT like that, quite the opposite, I like knowing that there are people in this world who feel affection for me.
I miss my mother, she died a few years ago, thinking that she watches over me from heaven comforts me, and knowing that some people smile with me, that they feel affection for me, makes me feel good and very grateful.
