You, What do you do for living?

Late Night conversatión with a Barwoman.

By: Nico Mercado + Save to a List

- I work...

- No ! - She interrupted me.- We work to survive, to satisface some needs, to keep a lifestyle. But I´ve asked you, what do you do for living?, To feel alive..

- I work here, every night. - she kept saying- But for a living, I go to the mountains, I drink coffee every morning while looking through the window, read good books. So Nico, What do you do for living? 

Couldn´t answer, I wasn´t ready for that question.



So, tell me, ¿ What do you do for living ?
