"Finally, its Friday! TGIF," Bisi, my
colleague said.
Smiling, I said..."Abi! this week was kinda
slow, i'm happy its over".
"So, what plans do you have for the
weekend?", she asked curiously.
In my usual indifferent tone i said, "
Nothing oh, I'm just gonna sleep till my eyes hurt".
She laughed at me and said "So you have no
plans, Na wa oh. You are boring."
We both laughed.
Then I stopped to think.... HAVE I GOTTEN BORING?
And just like that, reality dawned on me, "I WAS INDEED
BORING."
With that realisation, I got terrified.
BORING was never a word synonymous with Thelma.
In the past, if anyone had called me boring, I would have
challenged the person to a fun weekend that I would obviously win.
But that was not the case these days.
These days i stayed home Sleeping, Working (I
still worked from home) then eating and watching episodes of my favourite
Indian soap operas I missed during the week.
"Was it part of growing up?" I asked my
self.
I'm still under 26.
"Does being an adult mean i had to be boring
and stay home all weekend?"
Lemme tell you a bit about who thelma is or
'was'....
Thelma loves FUN, in all forms.
She's an outgoing person.
She lives for fun.
Those were part of the things that made me look
forward to the weekend.
Fun could be in form of hanging out with my
friends, hitting the clubs, partying, binge drinking, wedding crashing. Just
name it and I can tell you I've done it.
This was my lifestyle about a year ago.
But so much has changed.
The changes came without warning. I didn't
realise it was even happening.
The thought of even going out these days makes me
cringe so i just curl up in my room and remain there.
I work Monday - Friday, almost 12 hours each day
so you would think i would jump at the thought of a change of routine.. Nope.
It sounds crazy but sometimes i wish the weekends
would just end so i could get back to work on Monday. (I'm weird right"
lol).
Don't get me wrong, I’m not an unhappy person.
Infact I’m the Jolliest, goofiest person you may
ever meet, But these days I just stopped being social.
I even run from top entertainment events like
celebrity parties and dinners just because I didn't want to dress up and meet
people.
Well, I guess, its a phase.
This weekend I think I should try something
different.... Maybe watch the latest movies my brother downloaded on my laptop
3 months ago. I think that’s fun enough..lol.
Enough said, I love life but sometimes i think i
miss out on living.
Gotta get back to work now..
