INTRODUCTION
Vacations are like a break from everyday life, a time to relax and have fun. Whether it's chilling on a beach, spending time with families, or exploring new places, vacations are about making happy memories and taking a break from the usual routine.
When I hear the word "vacation" the first thing that comes to my mind is relaxation, freedom, and escape 😂 a time to leave behind all responsibility and grind and focus on enjoying life and taking care of oneself. Vacation Is a time to explore new places, meet new people, and make memories that will last a lifetime. It's a time to create the chance to refill, recharge, and come back to life with renewed energy and enthusiasm. So when I think of enjoyment I think of enjoyment, enjoyment, and lots of enjoyment.
One thing I used to tell my younger siblings is that if I was the last born, they wouldn't get anything from my older siblings because everything was going to be coming to my account😆 my last holiday was the best so far. After all, the baby girl's treatment was the reason I felt bad returning to work. How my siblings treated me, my mum and my friends too made me feel so important and valued. The only person I missed so much was my dad, because it would have been a banger for us all.
The most enjoyable memory from my last vacation was from the day we went to buy the turkey for Christmas which was on the 23rd of December 2023, I went with my younger brother to the market as the best person who knows how to bargain, I needed to go to the market myself. And my younger brother on the other side was the driver. When we got to the market, we knew it was that time of the year again, from buying the turkey, we bought drinks ahead of the celebration.
On the 24th of December 2023 which was Sunday, we went to morning mass(6am) as Roman Catholics, as soon as we got back from the church there was a division of labor between me and my siblings. There's someone to kill the turkey, there is another person to grind the tomatoes and other ingredients. There's someone to cook the stew and there's another person to prepare the tiger but and arrange the drinks in the fridge. I was in charge of frying the meat😄
We were to go for watch night and for that reason, we had to do everything ahead of time.
On the 25th of December 2023, I couldn't go to church because it was Sunday, I was so tired from the Christmas watch night and the other things we did the day to Christmas and it made me oversleep. We had to tidy up the whole house, from noon children were everywhere going to the children's show, all dressed and looking good. I was so excited and it made me miss my childhood. We later hung out to chill.
Before I forget there were lots of weddings I attended, so far this is my best holiday and I hope it never ends. I miss my mom already, all the gist, even though I'm not the last born she takes care of me like her last baby. I wish another vacation starts next week but since it's not possible, I will be waiting for April vacation to go home😫 I don't want to grow old God.
I feel like my life will end😫 i had mixed feelings. because how will I cope with the stress this new year? Why can't the whole of January be a vacation? I love my job so much but when I think about the stress I'm going to be going through it makes me sad, but there's time for everything, a time for rest and a time for work so I believe it's time to work, and make money again for the next holiday. We have bills to pay, we have families to feed and we have ourselves to take care of so we need to work.
Lest I forget, to some extent I was happy to resume work because everyone was telling me how they missed me even those that we have been constantly in contact with because of how I make them laugh and happy at work. If I can be the reason why others will resume work happily and look forward to seeing my resume too then I should always be happy to meet them. Some brought chin chin, cupcakes, and chicken for me after the holiday. I hope that we all make work easier and more enjoyable for each other this new year.
Well, I would say it depends on what one is looking for in the vacation. If one wants to minimize relaxation and enjoyment then having a longer, less frequent vacation may be more advisable/beneficial. Because it will give more time to unwind and truly disconnect from work and daily life. However, if you are more focused on exploring new places and experiencing new things, then a shorter, more frequent vacation may be the way to go because it will help you see more places and still have the opportunity to recharge in between.
In conclusion.
Life is too short and I will advise you to make every day count. Enjoy yourself as much as you can. Take the possible breaks that you can take from work or your daily life. Tomorrow is not promised
