Off & On

Hello and welcome back to my weekly thoughts!

Today I want to talk about the ebb and flow of feelings.

I am a very emotional person, so my mood effects my actions, sometimes quite drastically, which becomes a particular problem when my mood is prone to very sudden changes.

When I'm happy every experience is boosted and I feel invincible, I'm sociable, excited, and very driven, but it goes just as far the other way when I'm sad, suddenly I'll lose all motivation and interest in things I loved just a few days ago.

This is most unfortunate when I'm talking to people, how does one inform another that they may be uninterested in talking to them because of a sudden mood change without seeming like an entitled prick.

Maybe to truly love somone is to fight through that feeling and still be around them regardless? Or maybe that's a quick way to develop hate for them.

I suppose everyone needs their alone time, but when it lasts for days or weeks at a time and comes at completely random times, how reasonable is that? And how would people coexist if they relied utterly on their gut feelings, if both parties would only agree to come together when they were feeling like it.

As you can tell I haven't found a good answer to all this nonesense yet, though I assume, like most things, it lies somewhere in the middle.

Hopefully you don't struggle with these same feelings, but if you do, maybe reading this can give you a new way to look at it!

As always, thanks for reading and have a spectacular evening.
