"WHY DON’T I LEAVE TOMORROW?
When I have problems, I console myself thinking that someday I will go away, leaving the grey and filthy city, its permanent brouhaha and this way of life refraining me from making the most of the small things. Time pass and I am still here, alone with my daily problems and small anxieties. So I tell myself ‘Why don’t I leave tomorrow?’
It is 6.30 AM, the trains pass by slowly, the offices light up on one by one, the soles click on the pavement, and a whole army of newspapers is spread in the public transportations. The slot machine rumbles again.
The urban monster wakes up like every other day, but I am not here anymore to see him. Free at last…"

"I believe I have a problem with work. At an early age, at school, I felt like going nowhere but since I have started working – and even if that’s only for a limited time, I find less and less finalities, except the financial reason.
I don’t think I am lazy but still I can’t imagine myself in two or three years embarked in the great work adventure for the upcoming forty years. Seriously, this is something I can’t consider.
I have been working these last six months and I am already bored. And it is definitely not the hardest job ever. Gosh, I don’t want to do that at all and I am sure there is a way to make things work differently.
Saving, paying taxes, contributing, investing, borrowing, there might be better goals in life. I like creating, building, work on projects. And I would love to be able to run all these things outside of work, and not summing up my life with a formula like, 90% work and 10% hobbies. I don’t want to have a hobby. I want to have a full life. Sufferings and troubles will always be present… But I don’t want to anticipate the years to come with this idea in mind. I am fed up to wait for things to come. I want to do my best and make my life beautiful and fulfilling.
I am not saying it is easy. Maybe this is not possible for everyone and maybe I have already a lot of privileges that will help in the process. I don’t know. But if that’s the case so what am I waiting for? Probably nothing. That’s why I am working on all these questions right now."
