An Out of Place Mind

Sunday.

Sunday’s are the best day of the week, I think.
i wake up early, unintentionally. I can never fall back asleep once I’m awake. I take the dogs out and I watch as Axle does everything to irritate his sister, Scout. He jumps around like a little rabbit.
some days I just stand in my house and listen to the sounds around me. I don’t know if it’s because I never thought I’d own a house or because it’s one of the best things to do. It’s almost as good as watching snow fall on a late night when everything is silent.

I prepare myself for the week ahead of me, not knowing if it’ll be a slow week or a rushed week. I do a few loads of laundry, sweep and mop. The basic household chores. Once that’s done, I’ll watch tv. Right now I’ve been binge watching Tokyo Ghoul, but there’s about 5 or 6 other anime’s I’m currently binging. I’ll nap. Eat. Go on tiktok. I never let myself just sit, but that’s what I’m doing.
sunday’s allow me to reciprocate myself. I can do whatever I need to allow myself the proper time and space to just relax. I’m not working, I’m not taking care of a little family. It’s time for just me and I’m grateful for that.

Some of us struggle to allow ourselves time to just be and we should all be able to understand that for us to be our authentic, true selves; we need that time. That space from whatever it is. No matter if it’s big or small, it matters.

You matter.
