A Little Night Music
Once in a while, we all appease our inner rockstar and say to ourselves, "I don't feel like going out, I just wanna wrap myself in a snuggie and watch movies" but, we go out anyway.
After an exceptionally awful day, I found myself in this very position. Sometimes, no matter what you do, you can't possibly do right by anyone. By anyone, I mean the people that don't respect and value you for what you have to give in this world. Feelings are powerful little buggers that creep deep within your being and try to take over every little action that you are normally capable of doing without compromise. Feelings are what make you, well... you.
It is so easy to let your feelings rule your life because it is all encompassing. It takes over your mind, body and soul. You feel...and when you become aware of the vulnerability, no matter what emotion, the first instinct is to succumb and dwell in your little land of emotion. Tonight I made plans to attend an event not knowing that my emotions would potentially alter my frame of mind to genuinely want to attend the event. 20 minutes after I was supposed to be somewhere, I received a call that reminded me that my issue, or momentary lapse of judgement, was somewhat insignificant.
With mascara watermark stains down my eyes and cheeks, I pulled myself together and dressed for an evening to remember. As I washed the morning make-up off of my face and painted on a new one, I looked at my multi-colored eyes in the mirror and said, "really? You have to moan and groan to pull yourself together for a night of fun with friends?"
Friends... true friends that hear you, accept you, and love you anyway... are the ones that are supposed to drag your mopey ass out on nights that you feel down. I had no intentions of going out tonight because I was so involved with my mind and what it was tricking me to believe was truth. The truth, according to Wuth... is that a little night music with dear friends is exactly what is needed to get your mind, body and soul back in order after a rough day.
Does a warm blanket and a cheesy 80's movie or romantic comedy cure the common heartache? The truth is, for us ladies, it helps us to produce tears that we haven't cried in a long time and makes us feel like we are infants being swaddled. Misery enjoys company and misery enjoys a happy ending, but I urge you all not to forget that although the couch and blanket is warm and cozy, encouraging yourself to be strong enough to engage in a social setting will indeed, bring you back to life.
To acknowledge your pain and discomfort and then rise above it, is the moment you are free.
