Bittersweet Symphony

Sometimes this whole one-day-at-a-time thing sucks.

I’m sick of life’s roller coasters. I think this is why I have such a hard time staying in the moment; having to deal with certain emotions head-on, and STAY with them, is overwhelming. There’s solace in the unknown future, and planning for events that may never happen is comforting to me, even though many of them never become reality. Who cares; if I’m thinking about the future, I don’t have to deal with NOW.

Unfortunately, NOW has a way of tapping you on the shoulder, and when you turn around, it punches you in the face.

NOW is a bitch sometimes.

    Do you think your gaining parts of yourself back? For myself I know I gave up, and even compromised, lots of emotions (pieces of myself), then realized how significantly important they are, and have reclaimed them as MINE!! NOT FOR TRADE!!
    And yet. The B!&@# might need to be leashed, but she does not have to like it!!

    The other day as I was walking through your hometown a thought occurred to me. Well, actually a reminder. We can’t control what life throws at us, only our responses. So, I’m going to work on being more positive and using humor to deal with problems.
