THIS IS WHAT MY IDEAL WEEKEND FEELS LIKE

Creating perfect things is not easy. It makes you think so hard and it often feels impossible, but since it is something that doesn’t have to always be that way, I’m going to attempt sharing how I want my perfect weekend to be like and feel like. This is my response to the IUcontest asking us to share how I want my perfect weekend to be like.

Prior to now, I have answered this question a few times, but it seems like my answer changes almost every time I attempt responding to the question. Well, for me, I believe weekends are for having fun and resting to my heart’s content. It’s not a time to be in a haste or trying to meet up with deadlines. So, for my ideal kind of weekend, it will be a weekend without worries of unfinished projects or tasks. It is a special time to relax and recharge.

Here’s a breakdown of how my ideal weekend should be like. First, I sleep for as long as I want and wake up anytime my body wants and not the usual of waking up when the alarm goes off. Once I’m awake, I take a longer time to meditate, study, and pray. After that, I’ll take some time to do some chores and keep my space tidy. Then I’ll do my exercises, take my bath, and get a nice brunch. After that, I’ll probably read a book or watch a movie. There will also be a time when I’ll go for a stroll and maybe visit a friend.

On my way back, I’ll grab some nice street food and drinks. Once I get home, I’ll enjoy what I bought, freshen up, and take my bath. Afterwards, I’ll jump on my bed, continue my book or movie, and then sleep when I feel sleepy. In between, I’ll chat with some friends or not? Well, anything I’ll be engaging in on a weekend has to be completely stress-free. So, as long as I don’t feel stressed and drained at the end of my weekend, that weekend is most likely a perfect weekend for me.

Interestingly, I have had my ideal weekends in the past, but sadly, these days it is so hard to come by. There are so many activities that tend to take my time on weekends, but it’s fine. I’m learning to still make the most of the time I get on weekends for myself.

Thank you for reading through. 💜
