Secluding in the Comfort Zone

Hey, it’s him again, and he has been in his comfort zone for too long. How long has it been since he last went diving, or traveled to strange lands to meet new people and new thoughts?

He did the same tasks over and over for years, merely to satisfy basic material needs. Many think that is stability: he used to think so too

Yet, strangely, it is the moments when he pauses to reflect on what he wants, separating himself from the hamster wheels defined by society, that he learns the most, and feels the most secure and stable

And the lady lying on the table: Mickey, the witness to his life. She has moved with him through four rental rooms, witnessed the many people who drifted through his life, and seen his growth, successes, and failures. He hopes she will continue to walk beside him through many more exciting phases ahead
