There is something very wrong with this picture.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hi! Hello there! Good morning!

No, wait. Bad morning. I meant bad morning.

Because my body is tired. And my booty is sore. And my heart is achy-breaky.

The mountains usually cheer me up when I'm feeling tired and sore and achy-breaky like this.

But they’re not doing anything for me today.

I feel off. Flipped. Switched. Tricked and twisted and topsy-turvy.

Something is just very very wrong with this picture!

I’ve been driving. A lot. From place to place. Trying to find a good one. A good place. A place where I can be from and where I can belong and where I can maybe finally somehow connect the dots between home and heart. Will I ever find a place like that? I don’t know. Maybe. I should be happy where I’m at but I’m not. Am I trying too hard, searching too hard, thinking too hard about this? Probably. That happens a lot when I feel off. What is it with me today, anyway? I'm so tired. My whole body is tired.

I’m restless. I’ve always been restless. I’m a wanderer. I go places and wander around for no reason. Minturn, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, Rifle. I went to all those places even though there was no reason to go. I don’t know why. I can’t seem to settle down. Can’t put down roots. I have no roots. All I have is a sore booty from sitting in this driver’s seat for so long.

Something just isn't quite right today. What’s going on? I can’t seem to put my finger on it.

Here I am sitting in the driver’s seat spacing out at eighty miles per hour. It’s dangerous. I’m dangerous. This is bad. This is a problem. Houston, we have a problem. No, not that kind of problem. This is the kind of problem where some dude makes a shitty “Houston we have a problem” joke. He's a bad writer. I’m a bad writer. My writing is bad. My jokes are —

Chill, dude.


Who’s that?

I’m your chill side. I step in and take over when you start going nuts like this.


Oh. Thanks, man.

Yeah, something just feels off today, you know?

Your picture is upside down.


What?

The photo at the top of this blog. It’s wrong.


Ohhhhhh.

Want me to fix that for you?


Yes please!

Okay.

AWWWWW YEAHHH!!

Would you just look at those absolutely gorgeous mountains!

They're pretty cool, aren't they?


They're SMASHING!! And I feel like a MILLION BUCKS all of a sudden!!

You know, maybe every once in a while you should just chill for a bit, take a deep breath, and enjoy living in the moment.


You're RIGHT!!

You're always GO GO GO, you never slow down.


It's TRUE!! What would I do without you!?

You would have a nervous breakdown.


Right.

Well, thanks a billion, chill side of me! You're the best!

You're welcome. Have a great day!


I will! I will! I will!

LOL! I got someone to turn their monitor upside down! My life is complete!

Thanks for the cool comment, dude. 😀

Funny, but also insightful, thanks! I like the image of wanting to

connect the dots between home and heart.

That's a beautiful way of putting it.

Thanks. There's a lot of insight hiding in commonplace kids' games.

very entertaining, I like the "self talk", we all do it !

Yes … but some people "self talk" with multiple selves, which can cause problems 😄

I wish to have a rest)

I will permit that.
