Exhausted to Excited

Right now, I’m feeling tired and burnt out.

Fortunately, the exhaustion is more physical than mental. When I’m feeling mentally exhausted it takes longer to recover, but I think all I need for now is some rest over the weekend. I need a day to just stay home and recharge.

However, I’ll probably end up spending the weekend wandering around, as I always do. It’s like this every week. Throughout the work week, I crave a relaxing, quiet day at home, but as soon as the weekend comes, I end up using way too much energy out and about.

With the weekend approaching, I’m already making plans in my head. Right now, I’m leaning towards visiting Wolmido to watch the sunset. The weather is starting to cool down, so I want to wander around outdoors. Or maybe I’ll go on a bike ride along the Han River to Gimpo.

Now that I think about it, I’m excited.

This is what I like most about writing: I can actually see how my feelings are changing. Sometimes existing feelings become more intense, or, like in this case, they shift into something new.

It’s interesting how writing this down has shifted my perspective. I started off thinking I needed a quiet weekend, but now I realize I’m actually looking forward to being out and about. Maybe it’s not about choosing rest over activity, but about finding energy in the things that truly excite me.
