How do you want to retire?

I’ve been laughing at this prompt all day

I was already partially forced to “retire”

By my body

I wanted to retire after a fulfilling life

What a joke that was

I feel like I will leave this world thinking “was this it?”

No reward for having worked hard for most of my living life

My working hard doesn’t scale to their working hard

My exhaustion is just part of it

Retire to a small cabin in the forest with a beautiful clearing nearby

Have the ability to have food delivered

Maybe live with my cook and cleaner

Have some fun

And that’s where it gets funny because I don’t get to have fun

So it’s just sort of a funny little fantasy

It’s just sort of been mocking me all day
