My day has ended, and I am about to go home and sleep. My coworker, who also clocked out at 6 am, is starting her week's end. As I sit, waiting for the cafe to open at 6:30, I realize that the lady behind the counter is likely starting her day.
This is all perfectly normal. No one is alarmed. No one is passing judgment or offering critiques. We accept the variability of roles and schedules.
If we can all be in different stages of our day, why isn't it acceptable to be in different stages of our lives? Why does progress have to have a relational component? Why do we need everyone around us to be so damn similar to us?
The Coworker, Lady Behind The Counter, and I are different individuals working for the same company. You and I are different individuals navigating the same planet. We are both having human ecperiences, but we are not experiencing life in exactly the same way on the exact same time-tables.
That's okay. In fact, it is more than okay. It is perfectly normal.
Good morning 😁
Good night 😴
Happy Monday
Happy "Friday"
or simply...
Happy Day ❤
