I’m 63 years old and I feel like I’ve lived a very simple and bland life. But then again, it’s the life I’m happy with. It’s the life I’ve always wanted to live. People grow up with dreams and ambitions, passions and interests. I never really had any of those. I guess it’s simply because the only things I ever cared for are a roof over my head, food on the table and a stable job that paid me enough to provide for my family.
I remember my younger days when I worked in a printing firm for nearly 20 years. Things weren’t easy back then either, I had more energy but the struggles were always the same. Working for a roof over my head and food on the table to provide for my family.
I’m an old man now and had to leave the printing firm. I work as a security guard here and still face those three very same obstacles. But that's just how life is I guess. You can either be happy in the simplicity of each and every moment or spend your years chasing the bigger and much more complicated things.
