Hooky

Lately my focus has solely been on being productive in my work and building my career. Of course, this is extremely important to me, but yesterday I was reminded that I had been all work and no play.

Yesterday morning, I was ready for the day with my laptop, toast, and tea in hand. I began catching up on emails when I thought to myself, I need some fun right now. The night before, I started watching the new Disney film, Encanto, but was too tired to finish it. I had a little more than half of the film to finish and in between emails, I decided to watch the rest.

I was playing hooky and it felt amazing. For the rest of the day I was singing, “We don’t talk about Bruno-no-no.” I even tried to do that challenge on Tik Tok but failed. It didn’t matter though. I felt like a kid again, and it was just what I needed.

I can take myself way too seriously sometimes, especially with my goals. Sometimes you just need a break to do something fun.
