It’s Monday again.
I woke up to the sound of a danfo horn screaming like it has beef with my destiny. No gentle sunrise. Just Lagos saying, “Wake up. Go and hustle.”
Honestly, Mondays are weird.
They come with this heavy mixture of hope and headache.
Hope that maybe something good will happen this week.
Headache because — well, life is not exactly romantic right now.
I lay in bed this morning staring at the ceiling, thinking, “Should I even bother?”
Then I remembered my to-do list, my unpaid bills, and that email I’ve been avoiding.
So I got up, boiled water, and stood there like someone who needs deliverance.
It’s funny how we keep showing up for a life that hasn’t fully shown up for us yet.
But maybe that’s what being alive means — trying, even when nothing is guaranteed.
If you’re a dreamer, a job-seeker, a creative, a writer, or just someone who’s trying to survive another week in Nigeria, I see you.
This post is for you.
Not to give you motivation quotes, but to say:
You’re not crazy for feeling tired. And you’re not weak for needing rest.
You’re doing the best you can.
Even if all you did today was wake up and brush your teeth. That’s enough for now.
Tomorrow, try again. Or don’t.
Just don’t give up on yourself.
We’re all winging it — even those who look like they have it all together on Instagram.
Happy Monday, my friend.
Let’s survive the week with soft hope and strong tea.
And maybe a little Wi-Fi… you need it in your survival kits.
Let’s Talk:
How does Monday usually feel for you?
Are you more of a “motivated queen” or “leave me alone”?
Drop a comment below — I’d love to know.
Mondays usually come to me unprepared every time. Even when I try to get use to it, I just can’t.
Always hectic, very annoyingly busy. Always staring at the clock and wishing I could just use magic to turn the hands of time to beat closing hour so the day can come to an end already.
Mondays and I, we can never and will never be besties.😞
It’s the same for me😂
I hope, someday, soon, our Mondays become a friend, not a threat.
Mondays, for me, have never been the sweetest. Rather, it’s the busybody that stole my sweet weekend away. And I just hate the seriousness and “busyness” that comes with it.
Let’s just take a poll and have everyone vote out Monday as a day of the week.
Here’s mine already ✅️😉
However, Monday is the most motivating day of the week. The fear of it coming with so many expectations is why I think people dread it.
I believe if everyone can maximise their Mondays, we might as well live the rest of the week fulfilled.
I agree with you… Mondays should be part of the weekend, lol. Thank you very much for your feedback.
