Life Now
Life
you wake up everyday to go to work. Even if you dont like your job you still go because you know you have to make that money to provide for your family or yourself. We spend about 8 hours at work and then get only 8 hours of sleep. We make only $15 an hour or less at the most. I think our everyday life is worth more than 15 dollars an hour just to work almost half our day away. I believe we shouldnt live like that anymore. We live life buying materialistic things just to impress those who dont even care about us. Mostly everyone seems to be in competition of who has better shoes, better clothes, longer hair, better cars, and more. Its sad that we're more worries about things that dont even matter. In today's world if you walk into an restaurant or any public place with a good amount of people i can guarantee you can count ober 10 people looking down at their phones. We are being ran by technology so much it doesnt make any sense. You hardly see any kids outside anymore enjoying life. Thats because they're all inside on their phones which is where they live their life. Its not even just the kids busy on their phones but then you also got the kids stressing over college tuitions and graduating. Its sad that now of days the majority of the kids my age say they wish days could go back to the way the way they were when we were young with no worries at all. We use to say we couldnt wait to grow up but now we realize it was better being a kid. I would trade crayons and broken toys over broken hearts and stressful days any time. But i guess thats just life.
