Strange days cloud: Not sure Jim Morrison had days like these. And I know I never had days like Jim Morrison.
But they are strange days. Every day seems to be different from the one before--different emotions, different challenges, different curveballs, different issues that people in my life are dealing with.
I'm just in a strange place--a funk--I think.
And I'm not sad or depressed about anything. I'm not longing for something from the past.
It's almost like I just have a sense about something. It's weird. Am I feeling something about my past, my ex or is it something coming up that I'm not aware of but seem to be preparing myself on some subconscious level.
I know this sounds like a lot of mumbo-jumbo, melodramatic talk, but I kind of believe everyone's life has a rhythm and mine seems to be at a beat that I haven't felt before.
Re:Strange days LostTeacher: i am not really sure about this one...
but i do agree that every day, heck, even every hour brings a different emotion.
for example, for the few weeks leading up to my move, i feel great! excited, anxious, happy, a little bit more like my old self.
but since about 2 days before the move and ever since then (about the last 6 days altogether) i have been a total rollarcoaster of emotion. happy, sad, really depressed, numb, scared, excited. i never know what one minute hold from the next. it's an exciting but scary thing.
the good thing is that i hold out hope that there is something out there that will be good for me, and that might by what your body is preparing you for. that thing that's out there that's good for you, that will work for you, and that will bring that happiness back to your life. sometimes you need to just ride out the weird, and go with the flow. 8)
Re:Strange days twetifb: Cloud~ I know what you mean about having strange days and being in a funk. I'm not sad nor depressed but I'm definitely in a funk and I have no idea how to get out of it. It's not a bad thing, it's just a little strange. I keep thinking that one day it'll just happen and things will start to feel different, in a good way. Atleast that's what I hope!
Now I'm going to have to listen to Morrison on my way home! :)
Re:Strange days gumby55555: I'm with you guys about the funk, but whenever I see that title Strange Days, I think of Lennon, not Morrison! :) Didn't Morrison have People are Strange but the "most peculiar, mama!" line goes with Lennon, no?
Re:Strange days marfanoidus: Cloud!! Congratulations, because you are on the verge of the rest of your life, and deep down you are starting to realize it.
Imagine that you are on a path out in the woods. Its a path you've been traveling for your whole life. All along the way in the past, every single decision you've ever made have all combined to bring you exactly to where you are now.
And where you are now is a little 'unknown' to you. You know you don't feel the need to try to retrace your steps back to an earlier decision in an effort to try to take a different path. No, what you're feeling now is that you are simply standing still, because you're trying to figure out which direction to head next.
Take a while to just be where you are at. Let some thoughts settle (what you call a 'funk'), and once you get your bearings, I promise you will find the direction that is right for you now at this point in your life, and you will once again start to head forward.
I've been there, and trust me on this one - you just need to let the clouds clear a bit so you can get a better feel for where you want to go.
good luck to you,
walt
