I don't know what it is and I don't know where it came from. All I know is that it is here and I don't like it. At all. Not one little bit.
Sadly this is not the first time I have felt like this. In fact in some ways it is an all too familiar feeling. Yet it is also totally unknown. I keep telling myself it will be alright. Though not even I really believe that. How can I when I don't even know what it is?
It's like there is some turmoil rolling around inside of me. Something that shouldn't be the way that it is. Something I need to change, or work out or perhaps just let go of? Whatever it is I just can't place it or shake it for that matter.
I spent some time going through some old journals today, perhaps that is it. There is much in my past I wish were not there. Steps that were taken on the journey through adolescences to adulthood that I would rather not have taken. A phase of life that I am glad to have passed.
The path that I took, the choices I made, I know they brought me to where I am today, but surely, I can't help but wonder if there weren't another way? I love the life I have and all that it is. I know that it is purely because of the things that I did, but there are some things I just wish weren't there. There are somethings I just don't care to admit.
Alas though I must.

sounds like how I feel when I'm having anxiety spells. perhaps it is going back over things you'd rather not remember. but they are in the best place they can be - the past. It is ok to remember decisions we made, things we'd done, that we wish we hadn't, if only for the pure fact they'll remind us not to make the same decisions again in the future. Hope the feeling passes soon. I know what you mean, and it is not pleasant.
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely, so to hear you know what I speak of you are right it is not pleasane
DeleteOur past, as much as it is painful, refines us to who we've become today. And that is always a good thing when we reflect on how far we've come. Hoping this passes soon for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie, I am big believer in everything happening for a reason and not regretting the past since it can not been changed
DeleteOh Rhi I hope you're ok. I always feel funny going over old things too
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess, all good xx
DeleteIt's ennui, and it's a very common sensation. It's also fleeting :) I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks gorgeous and can I just say ennui is a very cool sounding word
DeleteRhi, I hope Angela's right and it's just ennui, but it could be the beginning of anxiety, so if you feel like it's continuing or getting worse, please see somebody about it. Take care of yourself beautiful x x
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely I am sure it was just fleeting xx
