What makes a day perfect? I’ve realised that my idea of an ideal day isn’t fixed—it changes with time, age, and circumstance. What felt perfect yesterday might not be today; tomorrow, it could be entirely different.

As a child, an ideal day meant running around with friends, playing cricket, and enjoying simple pleasures. Now, as an adult, it’s about balance. My perfect day is often about juggling work, personal time, and moments of peace.

Take today, for example. This morning, I focused only on personal things. I didn’t rush for anyone else or let responsibilities take over—I did something for myself, leaving me genuinely happy. Maybe that’s an ideal day: finding space for ourselves, even in small ways.

Routine can sometimes feel monotonous and repetitive. The same actions day after day can make life feel stagnant. But small changes—trying something new, taking a different route, or slowing down—can refresh our experience and bring joy back into the routine.

Ultimately, an ideal day doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about adapting to what feels good in the moment, finding balance, and appreciating the present.
