Eclipse

Everyday, I'm faced with questions to myself; as a Millennial striving and existing. Working a job, but not growing into a career.

Casually, with all frivolity, how are we surviving? How are we making progress? For whom? In what ways? Short term losses, long term gains?

Lying, scheming, strategizing, and for what? How many Powerpoint slides does it take to shine a Light on each quarter? Like an Equinox, the corporate seasons of change.

I'm tired of the grind. The search for every decimal of that profit margin. The justifications of each and every email; drafts left unsent.

Peace and understanding -- that's what I need. A holiday, a break, a sabbatical? A temporary "shut down" -- the lights went out. Electricity is gone.

Spell it out for the higher-ups, upper management; what else can we do without wifi? How else can we work? Are we simply allowed to rest?

Everyone is waiting for a better economy. And soon enough, job ads on the horizon. Networking and communicating. A light seeping in. Hope for a new beginning.
