We. Were. On. A. Break!
Brunch|June 24, 2023
The terrible lows after the many highs of a good vacation can be taxing. But there are ways to overcome the back-to-work blues

We. Were. On. A. Break!

Chances are you are reading this at the fag end of your summer vacation. That long-awaited trip to the beach or the mountains, Europe or South-East Asia, is nearly over.

No matter what your summer plans were, there is one thing all of you will experience when you come back home: the post-holiday blues. You know what I mean, of course. That conviction that the best bits of life are over, and that it's going to be tedium all along from now. The feeling that all excitement has been leached out of your existence, and that life is going to revert to being a mundane daily slog.
