Drops of sadness swell from the deep,
rising higher and flooding the empty seas
of my weary eyes.
When in the wild woods,
everyone gets lost at times...
{the Wild Woods, by Maria Elyse}
Sometimes I wonder why. Just why. Why I am how I am, why I do what I do, why I feel how I feel, and so on. It’s like I’m lost in a wild woods of my feelings and questions…it frustrates me and makes me cry. But then there’s my outlet of poetry, which you can read above. But then I wonder why I have poetry as an outlet and the cycle continues…oh, well. Such is life, I guess. Some may think I'm just really weird, but I think it's fairly normal to wonder and wonder and wonder...
My feelings in general lately have just been sorta blah...and my headache from last Wednesday has still never completely gone away. I can still feel it lingering, even though it's not at its full-blown awfulness. Tomorrow morning I really just want to wake-up feeling happy and awesome. Like one of those days where you feel like you can do anything and feel all smiley. I made an effort to feel like that this morning, I really, really did. I even wore heels to school! Instant confidence and good feeling booster, right? Except every night I wake up every hour thinking and wondering about everything; my silly brain decides to keep me up at night instead of resting. So then I'm horribly tired in the morning and emotionally drained. It's kinda funny...just when I'm getting to the end of my weekly endurance, usually on Thursday or Friday, the weekend comes along right when I need it. Anywho, I'm hoping tomorrow will be wonderful! :)
My Grandma Audrey knitted this hat ages ago, and I just love it. It makes me feel like Little Red Riding Hood. And apparently my wardrobe choices consist of only neutral colors except for one red item. Hmm.
As you can see, my dark green nail polish adventure was short-lived. It was just too dark of a color for me, so I switched it to the always amazing red. I think I need to find the perfect sage/seafoam color though...then my nails will finally be happy, haha.
I hope you all are having a great week! Love you all!
