Me vs. Me Every Monday Morning
Sometimes I feel like Mondays weren’t made for working. They were made to test human patience.

Early morning. Alarm screaming like a demon having a breakdown—and yet, I don’t wake up. I don’t get it. The same alarm can yank me out of bed on Sundays, but on Mondays? My brain auto-switches to “ignore everything” mode.
I finally get up… because I really need to pee.
Check the clock: “Crap!, I’m late. Again.”
First step out of bed: I step on the charger.
Second step: toe slams the table leg.
Third step: one of my flip-flops is missing.
I swear, my sandals play hide-and-seek every Monday.

Bathroom vibes?
The faucet’s acting shy.
Water barely flows, soap slips out like it owes me money.
I look in the mirror.
My face screams: bankrupt anime side character.
Puffy eyes, hair like it fought a tornado and lost.
That’s when the internal dialogue kicks in:
Me: “Let’s just skip today.”
Also me: “You keep skipping. When’s your life gonna move forward?”
Me: “Let me stay sane first.”
Also me: “Sanity doesn’t pay the bills, broo.”

I stand there, brushing my teeth in silence, contemplating:
“If I disappear into the forest, would anyone even notice?”
Then I remember I still owe money on my phone plan—no forest for me.
---
Make coffee — spills.
Start my bike — won’t start.
Check my wallet — left it inside.
Look in the mirror — wish I could go back to bed.
---
It’s like Mondays come with a universal curse.
Everything’s off.
Wrong place, wrong time… wrong me.
What’s crazy is this happens every single week—
and somehow, I still act surprised.
I’m consistently dumb about this.
---
I sit on the edge of my bed, questioning life:
“Am I actually living, or just loading till my life data runs out?”
Pause.
Silence.
Me vs. me in the mirror.
Me: “At least you can still laugh.” hahahaha
Also me: “Yeah, even if deep inside a voice whispers: ‘welcome back to the loop.’”

Sometimes, it’s not the world being cruel—
it’s just your eyebags no longer able to carry all your hopes.
And the only motivation left for work on a Monday…
is to not get yelled at by HR.

> Then I started thinking — why is it that we remember the most random stuff while we’re in the shower? Like, why did I say “you too” to the parking guy when he said “drive safe”?
Like… broo, where was he going? But yeah, the human brain goes on auto-pilot sometimes. And the worst part? Those auto-pilot moments turn into yearly cringe flashbacks that you cannot erase.
And why is it… that when we’re around someone we like, we suddenly forget how to be a normal human? All our social skills just die. Saying “hi” feels like presenting a thesis to a scary professor.
Oooh, and let’s not forget how your brain turns into a philosopher at 1 a.m.
Like, “If ants can lift 50 times their body weight, then if an ant went to the gym, could it be an Avenger?”
Mannnn. I need sleep.
Like... why do I always take a deep breath dramatically every time I turn on the fan? It’s not a movie scene. It’s just a fan.
And why do I forget what I was gonna say mid-convo like my brain’s running on free trial WiFi?
Worst part? Every time I say “I’m fine,” it’s secretly code red.
But hey—life’s like that. A little absurd, a little funny, a little “screw this I’m moving to the forest to sell snacks to squirrels.”
We all got our own brand of chaos. And that’s valid.

Moral of the story?
None.
This is just the ramble of a guy who still doesn’t get why Mondays feel like betrayal.
But hey, life goes on bro.
Even if it’s with one flip-flop and an overfilled cup of coffee.

This Monday routine sounds all too familiar! I've had days where everything seems to go wrong from the get-go. Like you, I've stepped on chargers and had missing shoes. And that internal battle? So relatable. Do you ever find that changing one small thing, like making the bed right away, can set the day on a better track? Or is it just a lost cause once those Monday blues hit?
