Do you ever feel like the good you and the bad you are fighting each other?
The good you is like, "C'mon you! You are just being grumpy. You need to be more forgiving, humble, & less selfish. Try doing something for someone else. Think about the cheerful & active person you want to be! You can do it! The only thing holding you back is yourself!"
And then the bad you tells the good you, "To shut the h*ll up" and proceeds to try and force the good you to keep her mouth closed by shoving every single fatty thing into it in sight (or even some not in sight, convincing the good you to drive to the store to get it).
Yeah me neither.
But seriously today is one of those days.
I know I am in a funk today, and I know that I should want to get out of said funk, however I feel somewhat justified (due to the prideful chip on my shoulder) in my selfish irritability, so I have allowed my bad self to dominate my good self (and not in a good/fun kinda way, in the kinda way where everyone around me, including myself loses).
BTW, I love to use parenthesis. (A LOT)
Anyway, I am resolving to do better. To at least want to want the good me to win.
Tomarrah is anotha day! (cause I am gonna let the bad me hold on for just a couple more hours...I still have half a bag of chocolate...don't judge me!)
OK, fine, judge me.

How can you see me all the way over here in Ohio? I have days like that too! I love the way you write (and I love parenthesis too).
Parentheses—and I have been known to use them almost as much as I use dashes—are fantastic: a way of squeezing in what you really mean to say, but in a subtle, self-effacing way. As for "one of those days"—which is also the title of one of Monica's songs on her mid-90's debut album (which you will recall from Andrea's BMG-Music-Service-abusing days)--well, they happen, and that's what God created jalapeño poppers and Netflix for. Do not show flippant disdain for God's gifts.
Yes Jenn-- I have 'em too. There is a lot of `WHYYYYYYY?!` that also runs through my head and a lot of whinning sounds... but then sometimes, which has been more frequent in Colombia-- I just end up letting it all out aloud- but to myself. I`ve even been know to use the word `hate`which is heavy and terrible... but well, the days and moments come and go. Times to be glad and times to be sad (or mad, or rad...)Hope today is better for you! XO
