Embracing Changes... Baby Steps

Yesterday.
I got off from work.
I took the same bus.
To get to the same place.
Midway.
I got really edgy.
I feel like breaking out of this loop.
Week After Week After Week.
So I said...
Screw my plans. I'm not going to do what I usually do.
Forget about the bus, forget about the wait,
forget about the long trip home.
So I bought a packet of peanuts.
Sat down on a chair, in an air-conditioned environment,
ate my peanuts while watching the crowds go zipping by,
rushing off to their respective destinations.
When I finished my peanuts, I dusted the crumbs off my shirt.
Headed to the taxi stand and took a cab home.
It cost me 11 times more than a regular bus ride
but I saved 6 times the amount of time it takes for me to get home.
Sometimes you have to ask yourself.
What is more important to you?
Time or Money?
I would say time.
But I can only afford this "answer" for one day.
I guess I'm still the winner,
Because this time, money bought me some time,
as well as an ounce of happiness.
