What a poignant poem for life in today's society.

An endless quest to stay forever,
young, untied and free.
To experience all that is desired,
without responsibility.

This is all I've ever really wanted in life. Maybe it was my way of avoiding goals and the failure of not achieving them. It was easier to have disdain for the 1% than to put in the blood, sweat, tears, and effort to try my best to become part of the 1% myself. I've seen classmates succeed in ways I couldn't even imagine for myself.

And then there's me, trying my best to float through life without a care or responsibility, just having a good time and living it up as best I can. I've never been one to shy away from a party or having a good time. Pace myself? Does not compute.

Put off for today, to have more next month? Nope. Untied and free has always been my way to be. I will pay the price eventually, but I'll keep kicking that can down the line as long as I can. At least, I'm currently debt free. But if my back issues need extensive therapy, or worse yet surgery, my young fleeting freedom will be a thing of the past. Health is wealth so this must be my first priority to myself going forward. There is no other option.
