monday, monday... can't trust that day.

we all have routines that we follow, more or less, and enjoy, more or less. a rut is simply a routine gone bad. when does a routine become a rut? is it something you feel on the inside, or something other people see, from the outside? probably could be either. maybe you like & enjoy your routines, but you don't see how they are adding up to a rut that you do not enjoy. you might like a lot of the small things about your life, but not like your overall life, and then someone from the outside looking in might have to tell you that you are in a rut. but, if you are happy & fulfilled, and your life is complete, then your routines are simply routines.

i mean, we cannot all go through life every single day reinventing the wheel. when you get up in the morning, you do not want to decide to eat, shower, dress, etc. you do not want to make & remake the plethora of decisions that comprise your day. simply living would be an overwhelming hassle with no routines at all.

some decisions might be up for grabs, but every single thing every single day cannot be. perhaps a routine becomes a rut when we sacrifice the will to decide in favor of the ease of making it through life. perhaps we need to force ourselves sometimes to choose something new, in order to avoid the ruts.

speaking of ruts, it's time to go to work.
