☀️ The Good Life - 10/14/2023 - The dreams of the aged

Updated: Oct 19, 2023


I was awake at 3:00 AM again…. Though this time was different. I’d had a very good day of work on Friday, which cleared my mind of professional worry. My brain was then awake and alive and eager and ready for something else. And so I woke up at 3:00 with thoughts about the future. I thought about what I will do after my family leaves. I’m having second thoughts about living in my car, and wondering perhaps if I’ll just live month-to-month in various AirBNB, moving from city to city with my dogs until it’s time for the three of us to go. It’s great fun to imagine—to plan, and scheme and consider. The feeling is exactly like the feeling of being young, but without the weight and burden of actually being young.
