So, my partner sent me this image with the caption “This is me. 🤣”
It’s true, she is, and I am confident that many people can relate to this in some form or another.
Me though… I’m not. I’m always up early and every new day is another chance for so many things. Another chance to spend time with my wife and kids. Another chance to get out and take some photos. Another chance to help someone else out. Another chance for just about anything.
That’s not to say I always enjoy every day. No, I have bad days just like anyone else. In fact, most days I spend doing stuff I don’t want to do so that me and my family can spend the other days doing things we do want to do. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine every day, far from it. But the fact I’ve woken up is reason enough to try and make the day the best it can be.
I guess maybe it’s just part of who I am and how my brain works, but I honestly do struggle to understand the mentality of “Awake already…. but I wanna sleep… this is awful.”
What’s even the point of being alive if all you want to do is sleep. For me sleep isn’t fun or enjoyable. It’s necessary, unfortunately, but not something I’m like “Yeah, sleep, this is gonna be great. I’m gonna have the best time.”
It’s hours of unconsciousness at best, and (for me) normally hours of restless un-comfort.
I’m usually awake by 4:30am and out jogging or walking to start the day and as much as other people might think that is crazy, for me, it’s the best start to the day.
How about you? Morgenmuffel or early bird?
