There is no reason to it. You just go blank like someone dimmed the lights inside your chest and walked away.
You wake up, check your phone, scroll through lives that glow brighter than yours. Someone got promoted. Someone got married. Someone launched a business. You? You’re brushing your teeth, wondering why toothpaste tastes like regret today.
Everything irritates you. The alarms, shouting, even someone asking you a normal question. It feels as if there is a quiet fog resting over your brain.
You try to shake it off. Take a shower. Go for a walk. Stare at a wall. Get lost in your thoughts. Somewhere in between, the question drifts through your mind.
"Is this all there is today?"
I have those days often. Infact, this weekend is one of those days.
But that’s fine, I guess.
Breakthroughs don’t show up daily. Some mornings offer nothing sharp, nothing clear. There is no holding pattern in the afternoon. Evening feels like a pause between moments that matter.
I don't think it's laziness. You haven’t drifted off course. It is probably part of being human.
Oceans pull back. Birds perch. The sun steps aside for a while without explanation.
So if the day feels flat, let it be.
Just take a corner. Order some drink. Watch something familiar. Snooze without tallying hours. Let the world move on its own.
Return when you’re ready. Quietly. With breath steady.
That counts too.
This feels relatable on a whole other level, have been finding myself feeling this way a lot this year. Thank you for sharing!
