Dear Monday

Honestly, after reading this week prompt in the midnight community I felt weak not the type of weak, but the kind that makes you sit and think. What exactly is it between me and monday that hasn't been settle yet? Monday has never been my favorite, that one is sure. I hate the feeling of waking up and knowing it’s a workday. Me and Monday are not on good terms at all. Who knows why? I just get angry whenever it mondays. It feels like something built into me from birth anger for no reason simply because the day is Monday.

So when it comes to writing a letter to dear Monday I found myself confused. What am I supposed to even write? Why does monday even exist? Who created Monday and what was the whole idea behind it? Sometimes I asked myself this as if it’s a mystery passed from generation to generation. Because honestly, if Monday were erased maybe I would start hating Tuesdays and the hatred would just shift to next day. So what exactly is the purpose of Mondays?

I already stated why I like you Monday because of work the stress and that annoying feeling of responsibility. But if I truly look at the bright side if I am honest enough to see both sides and write with my whole heart… then yes there is something good about you.

The bright side of Monday is that sometimes you bring a sense of humor and relief. If am not at work or can't go to work on a Monday, I feel an unexpected peace. I sleep more, relax more and enjoy the feeling that one more day has been passed. It like am slowing working towards the weekend and that comforts me. Another reason I secretly love you Monday is that while most people are rushing to work, struggling, sweating and moving up and down, I get to relax indoors. That peaceful Indoor calmness on a Monday that one I dont take for granted.

You also carry a refreshing feeling a reminder that it a new week, a new start and another chance to do our best you come with both stress and opportunity at the same time.

I can't honestly explain why you were created or what the world intend with you, but I can speak on how you make me feel. There are days I stand outside watching the world move children going to school, adults rushing to their jobs, commercial vehicle driving around and the busy road full of life itself. On those days Mondays gives me a certain positive vibes. It reminds me that life is moving, people are trying and everyone is doing what they must to survive.

So after all that being said:
Dear Monday..
I may hate you sometimes and other times I may appreciate you..
I may complain about you, but I also understand your purpose
You frustrate me yet you also push me to begin again.

These feeling I carry whenever you arrive not perfect, not polished just real

That's all I have to say…

Sincerely
Someone is still trying to understand you…
