Rediscovering Weekend Bliss: Embracing Relaxation Over Plans
Written on
Chapter 1: The Weekend Dilemma
Ah, the sweet arrival of Friday... or is it? The moment we hear the question, "Any exciting plans this weekend?" our hearts may sink. Yes, I have plans, and I’m not thrilled about them. What I truly desire this weekend is simple: to lounge in my pajamas and do absolutely nothing.
I have no interest in grooming, no desire to wear real clothes, and certainly no wish to venture outside. Yet, the weekend's charm comes with an unspoken obligation to maximize enjoyment. We place this weight on ourselves, feeling the need to create memories and engage in fun activities.
“Slothing around feels like a waste,” I think, as I contemplate my options.
But the truth is, sometimes, I just need a break from all the scheduled events. I suspect you can relate. Despite this recognition, the urge to fill my calendar with meaningful activities persists.
Could someone please call in Freddie Mercury and David Bowie for a motivational boost?
Section 1.1: Defying Expectations
So, what’s my stance on all this? It’s time to rebel against these expectations! Let's embrace a weekend filled with nothingness!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a weekend agenda that centers around cozy sweatpants, a steaming cup of tea in a lovely mug, and some quality time with your slightly plump feline friend. This is our moment to reclaim!
I’m taking action. Starting right now. Well, after I attend my in-laws' gathering, that is. And I can’t miss the local high school musical, especially since my niece is part of the costume crew.
Oh, and I should probably pick up some groceries. Maybe I’ll even reach out to a friend…
Ah, who am I kidding?
crickets
Maybe I’ll just aim for next weekend!

The second video, "The Weeknd - Earned It (from Fifty Shades Of Grey)," serves as a reminder that sometimes, indulging in relaxation is the ultimate reward.
