I hear you, Mo! When our soul wakes up, the mundanity of modern life is not satisfying us anymore. The rebellion is just a little lens-shift in my mind. Read your words again. Your words are a poem, and through this poem, even the challenge becomes beauty. Thanks for sharing this vulnerable piece.
I just read your piece “On Mondays, Loneliness and Camus” and wanted to say how deeply it resonated with me. I found it both beautifully written and emotionally honest.
I’ll admit the piece left me feeling a little heavy.It had a certain melancholy to it .it reminded me am not alone in those feelings .
Oh, you write that so starkly, my brother. We all feel it... at all levels and in different ways - the schoolchild, the worker, the boss, the president... we all feel Mondays. That's why we love Fri-yaaay! Feeling lighter this Monday 'cos I'm out of the office, lol
Mo, I love reading words like these. For the writer, it is a declaration of self, for self: 'I shall feel!'
And for everyone reading. 'You are not alone. Not everyone is going to say, I'm fine. You don’t have to.' Words like these inspire us to question and feel.
I have been in your place (stuck). I made choices long ago to free myself and my life. And l am so happy that Idid - that law career, the businesses, the passion transformed into labor (not of love). And still, from my experience I can tell you that even after the uplifting of life, there will be times when Monday feels hard and every other day. During these moments, not even Fridays feel like relief. There are no weekends when you are free of your '9 to 5' and all that responsibility to grow your career or business. I can tell you (from my experience - of course, it is the only one I have) that free doesn’t always feel free and as humans in the midst of systems, we will always be searching and longing to some degree. I feel like I am missing something, some deep meaning. There is the echo of deep conditioning fogging me. The echo says you must produce someone again. What I have learned is this: 1. to love my life and myself even when things are not flowing, even when I feel stuck or confused. 2. I do everything I do from a place of love. This is my anchor and my scale. If it does not feeling loving, if I am not creating with love, I changed things around until I do. This may mean abandoning a project or an environment or people. Love never leads us wrong. No answers here. Just sharing of feelings and experience. This always feels loving to me. I appreciate your words and your emotions. Thank you. A love-filled Monday Mo. Ps can I dm you about something?

Thanks Sadhbh! Glad it resonated.
Mo, I read you daily as an institution of study. Your writings are reminiscing of the sages of ancient Greek literature. Keep inspiring the world.
Thank you @Poet-Shaddy
