Anika’s Snippets

Published : Saturday, 14 December, 2024 at 12:00 AM  Count : 2112
Today, I woke up feeling like I was back in college-like I could just drop everything and skip class, hang out with friends, and live in the moment. It wasn't the kind of energy that makes you want to get ahead or check off tasks-it was the kind of energy that makes you crave freedom, no responsibilities, and a day of spontaneity. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe just that deep urge to break free from the constant grind of adulthood.

In college, it felt like life was simpler. The hardest thing was finishing that paper due at midnight or figuring out where the next party was. Now, it's all about meetings, deadlines, and managing a million different things at once. For a second today, I longed for those carefree days-when you didn't have to think too hard about tomorrow, and a nap or a night out was just what you needed to recharge.

But then, reality hit. Work doesn't stop for anyone, and adulting doesn't let you hit snooze on your to-do list. That inner voice kicked in, reminding me that there's progress to be made. Still, I couldn't help but think: what if we allowed ourselves to take a break, to live a little more like we did back then, without guilt?

So, I kept pushing through today. But maybe tomorrow, I'll give myself that breather. Remembering that balance is key-between hustle and rest, responsibility and joy. We all need both.
