My Definition of Retirement Retirement for me is not sitting on a beach, sipping martinis all day long. I know a lot of people think of retirement as that time in your mid-sixties after working a lifetime, finally, the system is supposed to allow you to time to enjoy your life and live it for the first time. At least, that's the story I was sold when I was a kid. First things first, I disagree that one should wait until their sixties before they can live for the first time of their lives. So, respectfully, I will not be arranging my life as such and will continue to enjoy the things that help get me along in this world of MDK , mayhem and chaos. Secondly, I know I will not stop when I finally have enough money. By that time, I want the option to continue working because I will continue to produce great things. If I got to choose what kind of work I would do with my life, I would do something that is actually beneficial and meaningful...

I was once told by someone that I don't know what I want in life. I wanted to make this post to refute that statement. What do I want? I know for absolute certainty that I don't want to be a nobody. That's who I am right now. If I died today? Who would really miss me? Who would really cry about me? The poor few souls I hold close and dear to my life? Nobody knows who I am.

My fears have allowed me to find the darkest corners of my mind and my life and make my peace with the fact that I will stay in the dark forever.

 What I want and look for in this world is that everyone find their happiness. And no, I'm not talking about the $300,000 a year paycheck, or the fancy $1 million dollar home, nor the token couple of parents see you may be able to post about on instagram. I'm talking about that "I have what I need" happiness. "My immediate needs are taken care of and I have the possibility to pursue what I want in life" happiness. The kind of friendship shared over years and knowing someone has your back happiness. I want everyone to find their love as well. And I'm not talking about that stuff you're doing a bedroom or a dark alley, no.. I'm talking about that basic form of I give a shit about you, I care about your being, I care about your health, your happiness, your needs, your rights and I want all of those boxes checked not some of them and that is non-negotiable thank you very much -- kind of love. I want everyone to find that I forgive you past and future...
