The Lotus Eater

I am Thomas Wilson. I planned to live until I'm 40. But I'm not Thomas Wilson. He planned it carefully, about his financial, about his life, about everything. Me, I didn't plan.

People say I'm not serious about my life.

Not that I'm not serious about my life. I got plans for the future.

But I guess I'm not that strong willed to commence my plan.

And I've been facing lotsa situations, environments and conditions (you can say I'm traumatized about this) that tells me money is not everything. And the Thomas Wilson in me somewhat tells me to live the life in the present. Yah, its not good, I know.

But money is everything.

Guess I need to molt.

Shit.

I hate this feeling.

Sometimes I just wish that I could be Pearl Valen and go on an adventure on the lands of Cantha, Elona and Tyria for real.

Can you explain the title?
I like the 1st stanza a lot.

The Lotus Eater is a short story by W. Somerset Maugham. Its about a person called Thomas Wilson who planned his life that he will die at a certain age, but he lived past that age. Try to look for it. ^_^
