I remember I've written about an ideal weekend I would love to experience someday and it was so full of imaginations and beautiful scenes, I wrote that an ideal weekend would be the one spent with my parents outside Nigeria.
While I put that in mind which I believe would come true someday, I want to share how an ideal weekend for myself alone looks like or should be...
Today is Tuesday and I've been at home with no where to visit or friends to talk to except chatting with my online friends... I would have tagged it a worse weekend if it were to be a weekend so I guess I'm having a worse Tuesday 😒 Uhmm, you can blame me for not going out to visit friends but I really didn't feel like going out so I stayed indoors.
But an ideal weekend for me?
It would be super different, I've had such weekends so many times and I don't mind reliving so many of those times if I could. Well, I just have to find ways to get even more ideal weekends as time goes on.
Aside the work and stress I'll have to face for general house clean ups and prepare for a new week during my weekends, what makes my weekend ideal are:
Being A Wedding Guest
My siblings and I set for a wedding ceremony
There was a month I had a line of invites to different weddings, I was super excited even though I knew what the events would cost from my wallet. And that is because I enjoy going to wedding ceremonies, one would wonder what I'd do on my own wedding day 🤭
Putting on a beautiful dress, make ups (maybe) and on special cases being part of the bridal train... All that make my weekend lit and I don't mind reliving those weekends.
The preparation aspect for events are always busy and stressing but I find myself being more excited about it that way, I feel that it has taken away the time of my weekend when I would be bored or sitting idle.
A beautiful decorated event halls for a wedding makes me smile and happy, the wedding vows aspect, the dance, the happiness around... That's a super ideal weekend for really.
Outing With Friends For Fun
I've done this a little number of times but I plan to do it a bit more often for my weekends soon. Going to places I've never been even if it's around my state or country, chatting and laughing with my friends and having delicious meals and drinks.
The last outing I went with a friend was visiting a swimming pool and a bar restaurant, where we had fruit drinks and delicious shawarma. The feeling from going out once in a while during my weekends always hit me good and that is what I want every weekends if it is possible.
Going For Worship Services
Nop, my weekend can not be ideal without this on my weekend schedule. I love to plan ahead to be early for worship service, prepare my wears and also try to sleep early. All that preparation also adds to my weekend.
Going for worship services also means I'll be going out of my house, be able to take pictures of myself and friends I would meet there and also get to receive blessings for a new week.
Random Ingredients to my ideal weekend
Taking out an hour or two to meditate or listen to music or sing songs... I can't go a weekend without doing one of them. Getting to prepare nicer meals can also makes my weekend an ideal one especially when I've had busy weekdays. I won't remove the aspect of watching kdramas during such an ideal weekend, it kinda brightens my weekend too.
So in essence, I'm saying a fun, interesting and exciting weekend is what my ideal weekend looks like.
