I took an impromptu leave today, having woken up with a blocked nose. It ain’t a valid reason normally, but in view of next week’s diving trip, I cannot afford to fall sick at this time.
And am I glad I did. Just lazing around the house helped lifted my spirits. I didn’t even realise how dreary I have become over the past few months till today. I feel invigorated.
Yes… You working adults out there… Stop being so money- faced and take that leave. I always believe in having some time for myself alone. To sort out thoughts and to reflect on my pathetic life. To live in my own fantasies. To feel what I want without any interruptions.
It isn’t hard to understand how new mothers can fall prey to post- natal depression with NO TIME at all to themselves. Heck with those traditional notions that mothers must devote their time to their children. It isn’t as if we children really appreciate it. Leave the wailing babies to the babysitter for once!
Hardly surprising why I cannot imagine myself ever wanting to have (ungrateful) children of my own.
