Now It's Personal (Day Uno)

It's such a Friday today. The weather's all gloomy, everyone at work is all un-worky and I just took a nap under my desk, space heater and all. See?



Yesterday, I felt kinda...well, to use a very articulate term, blegh. After a discussion of sorts with someone I (generally) like a whole lot (well, it wasn't so much a discussion as much as it was me jabbering and waiting for a response, because I'm a girl and that's what I tend to do in these situations), I just got all boo-this-situation-sucks-and-now-I'm-sad.

Side note: I realize I am being kinda vague, but this is my first get personal post and I'm just getting my feet wet. Cool? Okay then.

I hate when my emotions get the best of me. I mean, I know that it's in women's genetic makeup to allow their emotional sides to overpower their rational sides (if any of you disagree with me, I respect your opinion but must stick to mine). I just don't like that whole vulnerable feeling that manages to sneak its way up on me more often than not.

I tried to change this trait of mine, but I've realized that it's part of who I am and therefore isn't going anywhere: I wear my heart on my sleeve. It can get me into some trouble, but I'd much rather express my feelings that suppress them. And while I understand that not everyone is like this, it's rough and sometimes frustrating when I am faced with someone who is the complete opposite. Different people make the world go round, but they also make Ali one flustered girl.

I wish I didn't care as much about certain people as I do. But again, can't really control that either.

Sigh.

Wow, that felt a lot better than I thought it would.

The gloomy weather has made me blah all day.

I feel the same way you do sometimes. Sometimes I want to be a hardcore bitch and not care at all...but that's not me. I don't even know you - but it's evident you have a big heart. It's a good thing.

i don't like it when my emotions get the best of me either, but they do so often that i have had to embrace that side of me!

Spill it here. It will keep you sane.

One of the perks of being a SiTS Welcomista is stumbling upon "blogs of the young" - what I lovingly call you ladies of the next generation. Enjoy this time, because one day you won't get to nap under desks ;-)

Welcome to SiTS! Em

Yeah, I am right there with you this week!! Emotions are a bitch, and no matter how hard you can try to rationalize a feeling away, it just doesn't work. Hope you feel better soon! Stupid boys...
