Dealing with Sunday is the best feeling I’ve ever had. I love how every street is less busy than on other days, every second is leisure time, grabbing coffee in the morning, doing my skincare properly, having breakfast with my favorite food, sometimes taking a nap in the middle of a tv series I’ve been obsessed with recently.

I wish every day were Sunday. I wish it were that calming, comforting, and made me want to do less, talk less, having extra me time. Until I realize, all these feelings only came up.. when I passed other days.

The unmotivated Monday, need-to-be-realistic Tuesday, calm but busy Wednesday, stressful Thursday, or even no-time-to-recess Friday. Then my breath is back to normal on Saturday, keeping up with friends, and finally… Sunday morning. Waking up on Sunday morning is the greatest feeling.

But we’re not talking about any shit because everyone, not just me, we’re all the same. We can’t fuck up our days. So here it comes, the critical Sunday night. The haunted feeling, the too much consumption of the smartphone, the anxiety of getting back to reality.

I always think about a LOT of things every Sunday night. Keeping myself triggered with every cute unnecessary thing, or just starting to count days, plans about everything in life. Thinking about which plan is better, which thing is worth buying, which dress suits me. And sadly, it’s just… to make my heart feel better. To keep me sane. A bit motivating to face reality on Monday, but nothing is necessary for me.

This is why, tonight, I want to invite everyone who reads this, to unite our minds, to be calm (I know it’s never been easy), and to be sane. All of this is not really trauma dumping or whatever, I just, thinking, what if… it’s not just me that’s been trapped in my own mind, isolating my path because of every overthinking, every not-enough feeling, and every guilt trip. While everything you overthink on Sunday night… was really unnecessary.

I believe we can get through this. My Sunday Night writing is about everything to heal us, to heal the days we’ve been through. So we can wake up on Monday morning with a safe — comfortable minds. Even some of us are always fighters, guardians, leaders, no matter who you are, you deserve a calm morning, every day. See you on page 2 next Sunday night!
