the kid and the businessman

kid sits on couch, watching pokemon

big, bad businessman with broad shoulders in a large suit enters

he points at his watch aggressively

he grunts

chop chop

you gotta go do work!

the kid is sad

i accidentally came up with this visual when prompted by my therapist. i've been running around the last few months from commitment to commitment (or at least it feels that way).

it's because the "businessman" part of me wants me to do a bunch of stuff for my future self

but the "kid" just wants to relax and enjoy the present moment

it's a reminder for me to tune into joy and what i'm really feeling in my body and if the future-oriented things i'm doing are worth it
