Working all week to make it to the weekend so you can enjoy yourself
finally its here but what to do
you spent so much time working that you neglected to make plans for your weekend
you could go out with some friends and have a drink but you dont feel like going out
you could catch up on some house work but that would be boring
you could watch a movie with your significant other but its too early and theres nothing good on netflix
what else can you do hmm well you decide to get in the car and just drive with no destination listening to some music on your radio driving and driving
youre coming up on the state line and youre not slowing down
youre thirty five minutes passed the state line before you decide to start heading back
but you dont drive right home instead you detour into some surrounding towns along the way just to see whats going on
at the end of the night you realize its been forever since you did anything like that
the ever present reality of living a fast paced life filled with obligations sets in
always working hard to make a paycheck
and in the meantime you forgot to make a life
the experience was such a refresher you decide to set aside time each week where you have no plans
time where you can be spontaneous and do whatever youre feeling at that moment
the next week you go for a walk through a state park
the week after that you take up something you always wanted to try but always said you never had the time
youre trying new things on a regular basis
what are you going to do this week even though you are unsure all week you feel excited for what this weekend will bring
and its at that moment you realize youre starting to get your life back the thing that you work hard for
never take the time you have for granted
never become consumed by an occupation
never lose yourself in pursuit of monetary reward
stay true to yourself or one day youll wake up and realize the whole thing went by and you just sat back and watched
trapped by the things you thought were important but what was it really worth
you decide
