I work in finance.
At the end of the day,
I’m kind of a big deal.
People know me, they trust me, they respect me.
They depend on what I do every day.
But what they don’t know,
is what else I do every day.
I have an addiction.
They say, “Don’t start,
or you’ll never stop.”
I started and I can’t stop.
If my clients knew how I spent my free time,
far removed from skyscrapers, city lights, mahogany desks,
they would shutter,
but I can’t help it.
Those cozy little towns, the sweaters,the accessible dialogue, predictable plot lines, the monarchies of made up countries, frankly, it’s the only time I feel really free.
