I’m stuck, in the quicksand of midlife, I have children to look after, they’re real young, because I’d, married late, and I also, have elderly parents who are becoming, frailer, and weaker by the day, and, demented too!
And I feel like, I’m sinking, quickly, into this quicksand of midlife, I should be planning my retirement, and starting to, enjoy my life after retirement, traveling to all the exotic locations in the world that I’d always, wanted to go to when I was younger, but instead, I’m stuck in this, menial, minimum-wage position, barely, making ends meet.
The quicksand of midlife, it’s, taking me down, inch, by inch, and, the lower I’d sunk, the more panicky I’d become, not that I’m afraid of death, but because what’ll happen to me after I’m dead and gone! I would’ve, accumulated a TON of debt, not my own, but from taking care of my elderly parents…
and soon, you will be, COMPLETELY, submerged…
The quicksand of midlife, how can I, break away from it? I wondered…there’s NO way I can, escape this way of life now, and that noose around my neck, is tightening up by the day, I feel I’m, choking slowly, to death, only, if only, DEATH can come quicker, then, I’ll be, thankful!!!
