sunday

sunday shows up wearing its church shoes and hangover breath at the same time. it’s the split-personality of the week—half holy day, half “oh god, monday is lurking in the driveway.” everyone pretends sunday is peaceful, but let’s be real: sunday is the con artist. it lulls you with naps, pancakes, and Netflix, then sucker-punches you at 8 p.m. with the sunday scaries like, “did you even do your laundry, champ?”

it’s the only day where time gaslights you. the morning lasts six minutes. the afternoon lasts four years. the evening vanishes completely, and suddenly monday is standing over you with brass knuckles. sunday is like a free trial that cancels itself before you’ve even used it.

errands? chaos. target is a theme park. the grocery store feels like a survival show. you’re fighting over parking spaces with soccer moms who trained in NASCAR, and some guy named bob is clearing out the chicken wings like he’s prepping for armageddon. if peace was ever here, sunday sold it on craigslist.

and naps—sweet betrayal naps. you lay down for twenty minutes, wake up three hours later, it’s dark, and your soul thinks you time-traveled. sunday laughs in your face because now you’ve got energy at midnight, but monday is already peeking through the blinds whispering, “see you in six hours.”

so how do you survive it? you roast it back. treat sunday like a cheap magician—call out its tricks. do one thing that makes monday nervous. stage your clothes like you’re threatening the morning. write a petty to-do list in giant letters that just says “WIN.” sip water dramatically like hydration is your religion. make sunday scared of you for once.

closing roast: sunday isn’t holy, it’s messy. it’s not rest, it’s rehearsal. when sunday brings the rules, you bring sarcasm. when sunday brings the dogs, you bring snacks labeled “not for mediocre energy.” sunday wants to lull you into silence—laugh louder, nap harder, and flip it off on your way to bed.ah, yes—sunday, the grand finale of the circus, and the punchline is that the joke’s not on you anymore—it’s on them.

sunday struts in like it’s the boss of serenity, lighting candles and whispering, “rest, darling.” but behind the curtain, it’s setting monday up to fail. because the joke’s on them: you’re not scared of tomorrow anymore. you’re sharpening it. sunday is your stage, and the audience—the doubters, the haters, the fake friends—is stuck watching you rehearse your comeback in real time.

they thought sunday would soften you, make you lazy, tuck you back into a pillow of excuses. instead, sunday became your comedy set. every regret is a punchline. every failure is material. you stand there with the mic and roast your own past so hard it files a complaint with HR. and the crowd? oh, they choke on their popcorn. because the punchline they never expected is this—you survived the week, you outsmarted the grind, and you’re still laughing.

sunday myth to kill: it’s for dread. nah. sunday is for plotting. sunday is for drinking coffee like you own the patent. sunday is for writing tomorrow’s to-do list in ink so thick it scares procrastination into early retirement. they wanted you curled up, anxious. instead, you’re wide awake, smirking, and building blueprints that make their plans look like stick figures.

a story from the underground. a friend of this newsletter used to cry on sundays. the weight of monday was a bully. then they flipped it. now every sunday night, they stage one tiny act of rebellion—a draft, a decision, a setup that makes monday trip over itself. last week it was a pre-scheduled invoice that hit their account before 9 a.m. monday. the sound of money while everyone else was still yawning? priceless.

the joke’s on them because sunday is your camouflage. you look chill, lounging, maybe scrolling, maybe eating leftovers. but inside, you’re loading ammo. plans, ideas, petty victories—stacked like dominoes waiting to fall. monday doesn’t even see it coming.

i don’t beg sundays to save me. i roast them until they sweat. i don’t fear monday’s shadow; i teach it choreography. when they bring the rules, i bring revisions. when they bring the dogs, i bring the whistle and the beast that only answers to my grin. it’s sunday, and the joke’s on them—the audience, the doubters, the ones who bet against you. because you’re already rehearsing the punchline, and it lands tomorrow at dawn
