did you ever?

Did you ever see a place where it was all you ever wanted? a place and time when it all seemed so clear. when you played as hard as you worked, and work was all play? The "island life" when the beach was 2 steps from your back door. and when you worked in the sun, and the nights seemed so long?
Where is that? I live on the island, and it's all work and no play. 17 to 19 hour days.I haven't seen the ocean all summer long, nor a day off to bask in the sun.
My last day off was over a month ago. don't get me wrong, i had a week off just me and my boy, and it was great... i just wish summer... life... was like that all the time.
sigh... make it feel more worth it... all this work?what is it for? to work for the rest of my life to pay off my debt? would it be better to just run from it all.to find myself a place where no one knows me at all?
a small island on the other side of the world where life is much simpler for us all. where i can play as i work, and just as hard.life a carefree life i don't need "it all".
why do we fixate on pushing ourselves as far as we can... closing our eyes, and hoping not to fall...
In the end will we be any happier at all? or will we all end up broken after the fall?
tell me now, in life what you want, is it worth the stress the strain of doing it all. can it be simpler like the movies and dreams? is there a place where we all can just be?
