Feeling Gravity’s Pull
I‘m back. Back in the saddle. Once more into the breach. Mired deeply in the world of “Cubeland”. It’s not just a place, of industrial beige walls and small 6x6 areas of personal restriction. No, it is a state of mind, a soul crushing surrender to the inevitability of gravity’s pull.
It is, however, a gravity of my own creating. I could choose to do something different. I could decide that I’ve had enough. My issue is that there are so many restraining lines that I’m tethered to. Child support. Medical expenses. Back taxes. All have lines holding me at the dock in this safe harbour. Casting off involves tremendous risk which in turn plays upon my fears that keep me where I am - a ship in the harbour. Ships in the harbour are nice, but that’s not what ships are meant to do.
So I ponder what it will take to release me from these thoughts and fears? How will I achieve the escape velocity? Let’s hope something presents itself soon.

Thanks for the input
I face the same problem with different tethers…I am trying though and one of these days, I will be doing something that I consider worthwhile. It is just getting through all the miserable time doing something you hate that is hard.
difficult if not sometimes impossible… take today for example. I should be driving to the office right now. What I want to do is pull the covers back over my head…
Me too, back at work and hating it. I feel for you.

today the hating turned to loathing… early evening and still here. On a friday too!
