Why rush?

People rush to buy houses, marry and have children

As if racing against time

some pre-ordained script

Then years later lament the fact they

“don’t have any time for myself”

and all the responsibilities they walked into

suddenly feel like crushing burdens

much like the albatross in

The Rime of The Ancient Mariner

Truth is. There is no rush. Not really

You are only rushing against yourself

Your peers and society

Enjoy this time for you

Enjoy this time with you

Because chances are

one day you’ll wish it back.
