A woman has struck a chord online after sharing how everyday activities she once considered routine started feeling like “luxuries” after she entered full-time employment.
Taking to Instagram, Kuljot Kaur shared a video reflecting on how dramatically her daily life changed after getting a job. “First thing: afternoon sleep. That afternoon nap is just not in my destiny anymore. For Kuljot, evenings have also become very different since starting work.
From afternoon naps and weekday outings to hobbies and watching films in one sitting, she said several simple pleasures have now become difficult to make time for. “So today, we will talk about those things that were basic in life when I was unemployed, and now they have become a luxury ever since employment entered my life,” Kuljot said at the beginning of the video. The first thing she mentioned was an afternoon nap, which she said she never realised could feel like such a privilege. I mean, it never felt like it would be such a luxury, but now I know,” she said. “After 5:00 pm in the evening, I used to have a life; now, I’m just exhausted,” she said.
She also joked about how her movie-watching habits have changed. And now, I’ve turned movies into web series. I finish them in bits and pieces. Why? The clip prompted several relatable reactions. One user wrote, “This is painfully relatable. A third commented, “This perfectly sums up adult life.
Because I have to go to work the next day.
Another said, “Afternoon naps really are a luxury now. Another added, “The movie part is so accurate.”
“Earlier, I used to finish a movie in one sitting. So, we’ll watch a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow,” she said.
