musings

I like to write about things that make me happy, things I look forward to, and things that I love. I like to write about happy minutiae. But I also like honesty on this forum. In short, I've had some hard days lately. I've been uncharacteristically over-emotional and overwhelmed. And really, I'd rather be normal emotional and normal -whelmed. So, I'm on my way to figuring it out.

I'm not expecting a wealth of response here, and I sure didn't write this out of self-pity. I just like to be honest, because it's easy to read blogs and see the ideal, when really it's possible to love your life and simultaneously have some hard days. So, there you have it: some down-to-earth honesty.

Oh, rats. I'm sorry to hear this, Charlotte. I'd also always rather be normal emotional and normal-whelmed! Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry Chottle- At least you know you can always count on me for at least 2 things:
1. Unflinching honesty (esp on my blog)
and
2. Empathy for any kind of depression or emotional discomfort or suffering.

I love you.

If you started taking birth control recently (which I am assuming since you recently got married) I bet that is the culprit.

I hear you sista and feel your pain. I am totally overwhelmed with Youth Conference plans this week and have in tears this morning talking about it. I so wish I was just normal-whelmed right now.

Hang tough, pray lots and keep posting!

When I get over emotional I call it emotional vomit. Because that it what it feels like.
I hope you feel back to your normal cheerful self soon!

Stay Calm and Carry On!

And pray.

A few M&M's wouldn't hurt either.

And some new shoes.

And pray.

i saw this post when you posted it on my reader. I have been meaning to comment on it.
Not to be too personal but I had the same kind of things happen to me when I was newly married, it turned how to be my reaction to my birth control... could it be the same for you?
