Ever have a blah day?
From the time I woke up until this exact moment, I've felt weighted down by vexing, complex problems. Sure there were brief flashes of light, but overall I would describe my mood somewhere between apathetic and irked. No particular event triggered these unwanted emotions, and as I drove home from work, I couldn't quite get underneath why everything felt so hard and heavy.
On days like this, I just want to go to bed and start over. But instead, I put one foot in front of the other, hell-bent on making good on my commitments. I felt partially present during meetings, half-dazed during coaching sessions, and distracted during conversations. The worst part is—I don't why.
We human beings are complicated creatures. Today I wish I was a amoebe.
I love how your beginning is honest. Then how you end your slice with a wish that could never come true. Then you added a photo to make the unreal seem more real. And it gave this reader a chuckle. I'm glad you are you and not an amoebe! I've felt the same way. For me, it is the heaviness of the world events. Let's hope we feel better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting contemplation-- the benefits of an amoeba's life... I like it! Hope you're having a great Communitas, and cheers to you for your writing compliance!
ReplyDeleteThe blah-ness of the world is heavy lately. You articulate it really well.
ReplyDeleteFor real, I am echoing what Melissa said above. There are days we all feel like this. I feel like they come more often than not, now, but we persevere. I tell myself the very same thing: one foot in front of the other.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your honesty. I wish I were an amoebe sometimes too.
XOXO
