"Ever wonder what it's like to do the opposite of a thing that you love doing?"
Today, I'm taking a break from waking up early to go to my badminton game with some friends. I still woke up early though, but that's because I want to take my time to enjoy a slow-paced Sunday, savoring the moment as I write this post while having my mug of hot chocolate. I also have a Hibiscus tea that I'm currently steeping, which I'll probably drink after this hot chocolate.
As Shirley Bassey's This Is My Life:
Funny how I often seem, to think I'll never find a dream
In my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me
And my life
Yes, I'm a person who loves playing oldies songs on a Sunday morning and I'm currently listening to this song. But more than this fact is the realization that having a slow-paced life and just enjoying the moment has always been the dream that I want to achieve. And for now, it feels great to be able to do it at least once a month. While others find joy in going out and spending time in crowded places, I find the comfort and warmth of my place more enjoyable than that. I guess it's the introvert in me who just loves being on my own in a place where the possibility of any social interaction is very minimal to none.
Sunday slowdown is when I take my time to think about my life, cry and sing songs that remind me of the ups and downs that I had, dance to music as if there's no tomorrow, read books leisurely, and write random things, just whatever things that I wanna write about.
