Describing the days of the week as people - Monday - Cecelia

Cecelia was always the first to do everything; first to start a diet, first to start a new regime, first to get a job. You name it, she did it first and although this was sometimes seen as a good thing, most of the time people resented her for it.

She always found it hard making new friends, but everyone she met was in two minds about her, much like Marmite they either loved her or they hated her. Some would see her as a new beginning, no one could be more motivating than Cecelia, but for others this was her worst attribute. They found her controlling – probably because she wanted what was best for them.

As a child she could always be found at her favourite place, ‘Mission Control’ she called it. But others would see it as the roundabout island, it was where she would ‘watch the chaos’ as she put it. From any angle she could see dozens of cars beeping and indicating and swerving to miss each other as they travelled to where ever they were going. She felt calm as she watched and felt obliged to see the people scrambling as though it were her fault.

Because of this sense of panic that seemed to follow her, she grew up quite lonely, she had a handful of friends, but they rarely visited and she believed her family dealt with her simply because they had to and not because they wanted to, as she so desperately desired.

Although solace was her greatest companion, she thrived with it, she was constantly finding new things to do and was starting new projects. She was the master of renewing ideas and never faltered, she was constant and thrilled by the prospect of new things.

If Monday was a person, who would they be?
