The racing life.
People are always running.
They run as babies to get to their parents even though they can barely walk.
They run as children trying to reach the teens.
They run as teens trying to be adults.
They don't know how much it sucks to be big.
One might think that as bigger as they get, the better things will be but this is not reality.
Life is a world of giants, macro problems, macro pain and the only thing micro is you.
So they run again, out of responsabilities, out of pain, out of tomorrow and into yesterday.
But there's no turning back. This is it. This is your life.

Yes, sadly.
As kids we're surrounded by adults who have all the answers and independence we think is free but as we grow we understand how everything has a price tag and freedom is to dream. I often take shelter in memories of my childhood.
