A Perfect Day

When was the last time you breathe without having yourself worry about different matters in life?

When was the last time you stare on your reflection in a mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful?

When was the last time you stopped walking so fast on your way home to admire the beautiful sunset?

When was the last time you finished a day and had your breath taken away by something or someone?

When talking about an ideal perfect day, everyone will have a different image in their head. Be it sleeping the whole day, having a shopping spree with family and friends, spending the wee hours of the morning reading a good novel, or even eating at your favorite restaurant and sleeping late that night. Everybody deserves a break and one of it is planning a perfect day for you to breathe without worrying about tomorrow's difficulties.

A perfect day is a day filled with love and fondness for yourself and for the people you want to be with. A perfect day is waking up in the morning and starting it with a smile and a motivation to yourself that this day, "I will make sure that life is so much more than a mere business transaction, that life is so much more than the hurried footsteps of people going to their school or work, and that life is so much more than those shallow things we let to ruin every hour of our lives."

A perfect day is a day where you'll pamper yourself and wear your comfortable best outfit. After dressing up the way you want without minding other people's opinion, you'll go to the best spa in town and have yourself embrace the soothing feeling of having a massaged back, new manicured fingernails, and a styled hair of your choice. Then you'll go to different malls and spend your money buying new clothes and eating all your favorite dishes. You'll make a day full of love and care for yourself to make up for the days when you feel like you're not worth it and got hurt by other people's opinion of you.

A perfect day is traveling to a place where you want to go for the first time after an exhausting week. A perfect day is riding your car with the windows open and feeling the cool wind brush away the frown on your face while your favorite song is blasting in the radio. Take a moment to appreciate the view and landscape before you that seemed to be forgotten because of the robotic routines that eat you're appreciation and wonder for the awesomeness of the world.

A perfect day is having a sincere and long talk with your family and loved ones about random things rather than the future or for the things that may happen. Take a moment to spend a day without thinking about the 'what ifs' and uncertainties of life. Open up to your family and let them cruise with you for they are the ones that will help you because your family is your home, and they will not judge you.

A perfect day is doing what you and your friends have planned for a long time. Watch a movie, cry together, laugh together, and keep those memories for it will help you move forward and keep going. Keep your true friends and treasure them just like what you deserve. End your day with happy goodbyes and sincere hugs of gratefulness that this day, 'you helped me a lot and I'm looking for more adventures and bonding with you'.

A perfect day is reading a story you like and taking in the smell of a new book and a coffee at the same time. Feel the coziness of your newly washed bed sheet and soft blanket. Open your curtains and take in the scenery in front of you then close your eyes and thank God for another beautiful morning. Sleep not because you want to escape but sleep because you have to prepare to win another fight with the help of the people who love you.

When was the last time you said to yourself that "Hey! You did a great job."?

When was the last time that you took a break and just breathe in the moment before your eyes?

When was the last time you spent an ideal day of your own?

Breathe,

Because you deserve it.

Travel,

Because you want it.

Sing,

Because you want to pour your heart out.

Eat,

Because you need it.

Plan for a perfect day,
