I’ve always found it odd when I hear people say this. I’m never quite sure how I’m supposed to take it. I live alone. I have like zero responsibilities outside of work. So in that regard, every single day I do “something nice” for myself. I get to eat whatever I want, watch whatever I want on TV, etc.
One “argument” I’ve heard that this is instead supposed to mean to like exercise or something, but I exercise is very unpleasant to me. I committed to consistent running for over a year and never enjoyed it lol. I feel similarly about all forms of exercise.
I dunno. What am I missing here? Is telling people to do something nice for themselves reserved for people with heavy responsibilities like children and such? Because I don’t understand why people would tell me to do that to myself or how I am supposed to apply that. Existing with high freedom and low responsibilities seems pretty nice to myself so I don’t get it.
Am I just dumb lol?
Lmao at the chocolate cake thing! You know idk it’s just like for me, if I want something I just buy it. I am at the point of my life where I can do that now and it’s been pretty nice. I used to be very rigid on the dollar amount that I allow myself to spend and how often, but I am very fortunate to make a good living now. So there are rarely things I am pining over for a long time. I do have to be careful about overspending tho because I fear I’m moving a bit in that direction instead lol.
Maybe if I am feeling down one day I will visit the local theme park here one day as a treat. I’ve always wanted to go since I’ve moved here, but I’ve always been a bit of a loner so I never have. I feel like a lot of things I want to do are just not as fun alone. Plus it’s pricey. Something to think about I guess!
