Do we work to live, or do we live to work?
It’s a vicious cycle.
They make us think that getting a 9 to 5 job will fill us with hope.
We get stuck in the cycle struggling to cope.
We sacrifice our youth for them to flourish with our production,
And in return they jingle in our faces a green paper as seduction.
Their reward is insufficient, not enough for us to prosper, making our situation just one big joke!

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
