I used to think the world turns so slowly, life goes by so slow. I used to want life to rush by, to get past all the shit and start being fun. 

Well one part came true, the life rushing by fast part 

I wanted life to be exciting, and adventurous. 

I genuinely wanted life to be full of exotic stuff and full of experiences. 

Travelling, parties, getting drunk, fast cars, loads of money and a shit ton of sex. Surrounded by awesome friends and family forever, doing what I want to do, going where I want to go, buying everything I want. 

Ok, let us go back a bit (more than I care to admit), back to when I was a kid, I thought life was boring and dull, being a kid, you can’t do anything, you can’t do all the above. Of course you can’t, you’re still young and you’re still someone’s responsibility. 

You then find yourself wanting to grow up too fast, you can’t wait to finish school, go off into the real world and have lots of money so we can do anything we want, no consequences just pure living life and having fun. 

All that freedom to do whatever you want, the world is your oyster, meet new people, make new friends, keep them friends forever, because hey that’s what being an adult is, eh? 

As I’m now older, I realise life as a kid is freedom, but there’s too much dwelling on the need for freedom you already have, you just can’t see it and you want more, and you know nothing of the real world. 

When your young, you have the opportunity to become anything you want and anything you desire, you have the power to invent yourself, but no idea how to get it, shit, even now the opportunities are there but just that little bit harder to reach. 

As an adult you have responsibilities, even more so when you have kids. Getting food on the table is the priority, you work so hard, you don’t party enough, you don’t have fucking time, even when you do your knackered because of work. 

You need to get the bill’s paid, you need to keep that food coming in, you have to live the life your given. 

If you’re not born into money, you need to work damn fire hard to even survive in some cases, ok many cases, especially in this current economic climate. 

With all that being said, you must chase your dreams. 

Fuck the rules. 

It seems like the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, I mean come on wages are going up, woohoo, most of us have some extra cash flow, woohoo, we can afford to spend a bit of extra cash and get what we want eh? How fucking cool is that? 

Can you fuck, with rising wages come rise in the cost of living. Everything you buy starts to cost just that little bit more, but they sneak it up only a couple of pennies here and there, so we don’t notice or at least think “Meh it’s only gone up a little bit,” but eventually we do notice, and by God it’s painful. 

The cost of fuel goes up, flipping considerably, albeit has been a bit more stable as of late, even though the cost of a barrel is at its lowest it has ever been (inflation included). The cost of alcohol goes up alongside cigarettes/tobacco, the only luxury some people can afford. 

You’re weekly shopping bill looks extraordinarily high, you didn’t really notice it rising a couple of pence every few weeks, did you? Until you realise that shopping you bought is the same as you did last year but double the price it was. 

The amazing pay rise you have received, doesn’t look so amazing now, right? 

Then the banks raise interest rates, causing more debt and more of a divide between rich and poor, or at least low-income families. 

When will it stop? When will the greed come to an end? 

The answer is simple, it never ever will. No matter how much complaints go against this, or however many protests come of it, it’ll never end. 

The only way to gain proper money is if you have a revolutionary idea, often your still ignored and it will just get stolen by someone with money because they have the means to make it a reality. 

Can you see the cycle here? 

So, the best thing you can do in this world is chase your dreams, you may never get there but hey at least you can say you tried. If you reach your dream, whatever it may be, at least you can say you made it. You don’t have to be rich to make it, all you have to do is become the person you have always wanted to be, when you reach that dream you have been chasing, you’re free to chase the next dream. Unless you’re like me and have many dreams but have no idea how to chase any of them. 

It’s like when you were at school, you have 2 teams, but the teams always seemed unfair, why? Because the popular more skilled kids would choose their mates (you know the 2 top players of football, the teachers’ favourites, were always the ones picking the teams) and the scrawny unpopular kids, like me, were always chosen last. Why? The higherachy of popularisation, even in the lower-class citizens of this world, there is a hierarchy. The kids who seem to fit in, the ones that seem to have it all. You know the type, they got the looks, the brawn and pretty girls under their arms. (That’s how I saw it when I was a kid back in the day). 

Maybe one day someone high up the top may see the sense and think about everything out on the playing field and try to even the odds just a little bit more, no? I don’t think so either. 

Maybe one day we will get someone in charge of the countries who have lived real lives, not the kind of lives where they get what they want, been to college and university and had the means to make a difference and a change but do very little to help us little people. 

Someone who has lived in the “slums” and lived within the “poverty” line, you know the normal average Joe who have lived in the real world and not been protected or had a safety net. Someone who has had to work damn hard for what they got, everything that can be taken away from them with one word. 

The world is unfair to most, and will remain the same for all eternity, nothing will ever change, not for people like you and me. The real people of the world. 

With all that being said, we live real lives, we make the most of what we have, we live the best lives, even with very little. We live it to the max, because ….. well, we have too. 

We may all want a little bit more, maybe a lot more but we are happy and content. 

The world turns a lot faster than you think, time is of the essence, do what you want or need to do, just remember this, you can’t take anything with you once your 6 feet under, but you can leave a good mark behind you, you can become a beautiful memory. 

You can also make the most of the time we have on the awesome green and blue planet, you never know when the hourglass will run empty, and the end has come. 

You may be like me and think the end of this life only brings a new adventure, who knows what’s on the other side. It may be nothing, it may be a whole new life, it may be better or worse, but we will reach that adventure when the time comes. 

Until then, enjoy your life, don’t stress, don’t worry (I know it’s hard but if you force yourself not too, then eventually it’ll come as second nature), live your life and make the most of it. 

Go and explore the world, go and explore life, go and explore yourself 

Push yourself, push your limits, and then push a little further, you may never reach your dreams or your end game, but before anything else enjoy the ride trying to get there.
