Mood swings

Listening to: “Wonderful Tonight” – Michael Bublé feat. Ivan Lins

Wow. Time flies, huh? It’s scary.

Where shall I start? Well, vacation is coming up. No, wait. Let me rephrase that:
“Vacation” starts on the 20th. It ends in less than a month.

Yeah, big deal, right? It’s better than nothing. But I’ll hopefully be moving into my official home during this time—so in other words it won’t be total relaxation.

Then again, since when is life relaxing? Just by doing nothing, it comes up with something. Something to get you worked up about or stressed out about or sad about.. or happy about. That’s life.

Lately I have had the pleasure of tasting those famous mood-swings teenagers are so known to have. Mine mostly seem to come during the night, before I go to bed. I start to feel mopey and miserable. But there have been times where I simply feel sad for no reason whatsoever-- all of a sudden, it comes without any warning.

And I all I want is a hug, a word of reassurance, a shoulder to cry on. But what’s the point of crying if there’s no reason to cry?

My life is a good one. Sure, there’s always room to improve, but I should have no real big reason to be complaining…

I’m not particulary saddy-feelining tonight, thankfully. But if I think too much on the subject, then I will become so. So--! Let’s change the subject!

Hmmm… I am SO glad this semester is ending. I’m also happy to say I’ve made many more friends at this school than in last year’s. The people here in Bahia (which is a different state all together) are much more warm and open, it seems. It makes things easier.

Anyway, I don’t feel like talking about much else. Or rather, I would if I could— and I can, but I shouldn’t—since it’s really late.
.. So good night then!

Hey girl!

Glad to see an update from you. :D Yay for Vacation!! Awesome! I'm so happy for you that you're finally getting a break. Huzzah!

I'm glad the new school and friends situation is going well, too. Go you for keeping it going well, you know, it doesn't just happen, it happens partly because of your effort. So feel happy about helping yourself out!

As far as mood swings, I got those when I was a teen, too (what am I saying? I'm still a teen until August!). I still get them sometimes. It just happens.

Saying "trying to think positive" is just kind of silly, because you are trying, but sometimes the sadness just comes upon you for no reason.

So, guaranteed solution for sadness - chant Hare Krishna! Or, listen to some music, especially Krsna Consciousness. Right now I'm listenong to CD sung by this girl in Hawaii named Rasika. Check out her site - http:/rasikadasi.com. It has sample tracks.

Your life is good, but like you said, life can throw stuff at you any moment. So being sad or moody is understandable. And even when it comes upon you for no reason - well, look around for the shoulder or whatnot, because even if you don't feel like you deserve it, it might make you feel better. :)

It sounds like you're doing good overall. Yay!

see you around online (hopefully we can chat sometime, on weekends, 'cause I have summer work now on weekdays).

love and hugs.
