I tend to have life events and emotions that often wildly conflict with one another. And they often occur at the same time.
Example?
I had one of the worst nights ever.
I am so angry and furious sitting here that I can’t see straight and I had to tell someone!
But.
I ALSO had one of the most amazing, unbelievable, “OMG, I cannot believe I was able to do what I just did” insanely successful, awesome nights ever.
I am so overjoyed and excited sitting here that I had to tell someone!
It’s how I roll, I suppose.
But sitting here experiencing these to hugely opposite feelings from such a polarized evening left me with a thought…
Isn’t it a grand thing that we have the horrible to appreciate the fabulous?
*Since I keep getting asked- I’m too pissed to write about the horrible at the moment. I’m sure I will, it’s best to not write in such a state, ya know? And as for the great, I’ve been away at a business conference that has been successful and unbelievable beyond even my imagination…I just can’t talk details. Yet. Didn’t mean to be a tease it was just such a moment of wonder that I could feel such radically different emotions and how much the bad made me appreciate the utterly great things that happened yesterday night. Xo
Yes, it is grand to have the horrible to appreciate the fabulous. Hope your horrible doesn’t have any long-lasting consequences; and your fabulous is long-lasting.
Yes! Unfortunately, that seems to be the way it works. If everything in your life was fabulous, you’d take the fabulous for granted and it wouldn’t seem so fabulous after all…just normal, you know??? ;D
Hoping your fabulous overshadows the horrible!
BTW…you kill me with curiosity when you post stuff like this! What’s so horrible?!?! And definitely dish on the fabulous PUH-LEEZE!
Sorry…I just am not a very patient person and am naturally kinda nosy! I can wait till you’re ready to spill and love that you have the wits about you to wait until the sting has worn off a bit! Also, am thrilled you have some fabulous in your life…YOU DESERVE IT! :)
I have had a lot of those moments lately. And like you I am trying to remind myself that it is an amazing thing that we are capable and “allowed” to feel all of the emotions. I just wish they wouldn’t all come flooding in at the same time.
Hope things on the “-” have settled and that things on the “+” keep on going.
XXOO
Once you’ve tasted the bitter, it’s easier to appreciate the sweet.
Hope whatever’s horrible gets resolved soon! xo
I don’t think anyone needs details to get the impotence of the sentiment. Pain and joy can co-exist at the same time and can often take the sting out of one and enhance the sweet of the other.
OK now that you’ve said you’ll write about it when you’ve calmed down im OK with it.whoi hasn’t said I’m mad! But hold their tongue so they don’t say things they regret.
Oooooooh! You certainly are a lady of extremes! But then, that’s a good deal of why you’re so fascating to me. Dying to know the deets!
I love this post. That is all.
so girl
wonder why guys hate them?
I so totally pissed but I can’t tell you why but I plan to share how pissed I am.
Nice, nothing new.
How girl
If all the take away you got from this was your disappointment that I didn’t unleash a barrage of angry emotions online, I’m sorry about that. So women are not allowed to be angry? Or say that they are angry? Or hold their tongue about the details of that anger until they are able to talk about it without ripping someones face off?
Yes, I have a vagina. Sorry if that bothers you, dude. I can’t do much about you hating women. You’ll have to deal with your own misogyny. You are totally, totally entitled to your opinions, but I keep wondering why you read me when you seriously seem to take exception to the things I write and don’t seem to like me overly. (This is not your first comment, after all.)
But to each his own, I guess.
One would wonder why C would leave a comment like that, unless C has so little to do in his/her (you never know) own life that they troll blogs looking for opportunities to spread their negative outlook. So very sad, as wouldn’t you hate to be C and be so unhappy that you were inclined to bash others? I pity him/her…
xx
“yes, I have a vagina” – I love it.
Next time one of the women hating men at work make a comment towards me I am so totally using that line in my retort!
I think its one of the most astounding pleasures in life to be able to feel deeply. I know what you mean about having those simultaneous emotions of intense joy and blinding anger — it might be overwhelming sometimes, but I agree, I think you can appreciate the joy more because of the stuff that’s awful. Life would be so boring if it was just pleasant all the time.
Take as long as you need, we’ll be back, but I think you need this outlet more than you need to be away from it. Lex was gone from his for like a day and a half before he jumped right back into it. Hope it all works out for you.
Sorry- replied to the wrong post. I’ll fix…
.) I was very pleased to find this web-site.I wanted to thanks for your time for this wonderful read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post.
.) I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
