Understanding the Burden of Expectations in Daily Life

Daily writing prompt
What are you most excited about for the future?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

Would it be weird if I told you I’m not at all excited about the future,
I really have zero hopes from the future and there is nothing worse than having to face the future and its consequences,
yes,
the negative ones too even though all I’m trying to do is live my life in peace without disrupting others…

Does this make any sense…?

Does it make sense when I say,
that when I step into the future by leaving away the present,
and remembering how i was treated by it in the past,
each day the flame of having a better vision of tomorrow dwindles…

The day off feels like a few hours clumped together,
and within that it feels like someone snatches away half of them,
the day off feels like a burden,
rather than being a source of relaxation,
and the work that has supposedly piled up during other days of the week,
seems to hit all at once,
and leaving me with no time,
for myself,
or my hobbies,
or my friends,
or even a calm night away from anyone/everyone,
making the week more miserable than the last…


Something that seems like an impossible feat to cover,
this week,
these past few weeks,
these past few months,
these past few years…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
