    You’re describing retirement. And, boy have I spent a LOT of time thinking about what that looks like.

    A lot of people have lists of things they’d do, see, learn, or be. I had one too, but it kept fucking changing depending on where I was in life and what my interests were.

    Any list I had always felt restrictive. Here’s where I ended up instead…

    I would put my energy and attention only on the things that I want to put them on at any given time.

    I guess some call that living in the moment, but I call it retirement.

      What is retirement? A time when you will have enough money to just exist in whatever way you desire? Sounds fake.

        Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?
