Mondays have a strange way of feeling like a personal attack rather than just another day of the week. After a weekend of freedom, late nights, and relaxed schedules, Monday arrives with alarms, responsibilities, and reminders of everything we postponed. It’s not that Monday is objectively worse than other days; it simply represents the end of comfort and the return to routine, which makes it emotionally heavier.
What makes Mondays feel even more personal is how universal the experience is. Almost everyone shares the same sigh, the same tired expression, and the same wish for just one more day. Yet, once the day moves forward, Mondays often turn out to be manageable and sometimes even productive. Perhaps the real issue isn’t Monday itself, but how hard it is to let go of the weekend we weren’t ready to leave. Shutdown123
