So, I noticed this past week that I have a bad habit of compartmentalizing my life.
Whenever something good happens to me, or I'm feeling good or having happy thoughts, I post it on my Facebook page (which I maintain under my real name, so I can't share it with you, and that pains me deeply). But whenever something bad happens to me, or if I'm feeling blue and depressed, I post it here on my blog. So my Facebook friends think I'm the happiest person they've ever known, while you all probably think I live constantly in black depression.
I'd like to take a second to clarify that, contrary to my often despondent aspect here, I really do not live in black depression (nor am I the happiest person ever known). I actually have a bunch of jobs that I like; I don't have any friends who are as close as you sisters here, but I do have friends that I occasionally get together with and study with; I spend every evening hanging out with my family, playing with my little brothers in the yard, watching funky TV shows, making crafts, and vegging out on my laptop. I also learn new things from the Lord every day and really am beginning to draw closer to Him.
So ... I want to start doing a better job of blogging about the good things that happen to me, too, not just my inner storm and stress. Because it's really only a small portion of the time that the storm and stress are in the foreground of my life - that's just the time that I choose to write on my blog. :-P I'll still confide the crazies to you when the come up, but it would be nice for y'all to get to see my well-adjusted side sometimes, so I want to do a better job of that in the future.
Sorry for being so depressed lately. :-} It will get better. I promise.
How is your summer going? Has it been happy and active and busy, I hope? :-)
Lots of love,
Vicki
I'm smiling. :) Adorable...
ReplyDeleteAnd hee, that sounds like what someone would think if they read my journal... :P Some outlets just seem to attract one on certain types of days. :P (I'm not sure when I blog...usually only when something good happens. Or ha, I have stressful tests coming up. XD)
Summer...certainly busy (moving...garage sale...working on writing...trying to get reading time in... which is nearly impossible, but I'm trying... :) Active...not so much as I'd like - I was on a great exercise schedule and then I got sick and then it was finals week and suddenly it's almost the end of June and I'm like...what happened to that again... :P But still happy. I'm enjoying no school soooo much and having tons of fun writing and right now I'm working on learning Korean while I have a bit of breathing space and...I need to blog more. :D
What incredible cuteness. :D
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... summer is going great. My summer season of cooking at work keeps me pretty busy (and makes me pretty tired). So when I've not come home and collapsed on the couch or when succumbed to a Pinterest attack I'm trying to ... I don't know. Actually, I'm glad you asked because I'm sort of in survival mode and haven't made my summer goals as of yet.
I do know that I am going to Washington DC for a Israel Summit Conference with ... tehehehe ... my boy in July. SO excited for that. And guess what? In August, before school begins, we're going to ... Japan! I am SO excited! Hmmm ... God is so good sweet friend.
Hahaha, I have never seen your posts as depressing or thought of you that way at all! :P Also, I wish more of the people I'm friends with on Facebook would post happy things more often. There are some people in particular who just seem to use it as a way to complain!
ReplyDeleteMy summer has been going well! I just started summer classes (ugh...but ya know, I'm one of those weird people who actually likes school. Just with less writing assignments and quizzes every week, please!), so my free time is basically sapped, but that's ok. It makes me happy to be productive, and so with school and getting back into reading for pleasure (yay!) and sewing and drawing, I'm feeling like this is a very good start to the summer indeed.
I hope your summer is going well, too!(:
