To a certain extent I think a bit of fluidity to emotions is a good, stable thing. And there's certainly nothing I can define as "normal" for any of us. Still - I know for me, one of the first signs of depression is my emotions going away all together. If you just don't feel like yourself, you may want to keep an eye out for this just in case (it's also good to share with those who know you best and get their feedback).<BR/><BR/>Here's to hoping your weekend in cali was full of laughter at the least!Mood Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929563902268786112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-5274980187771651812007-03-01T19:06:00.000-05:002007-03-01T19:06:00.000-05:00LMNt - I just read your post and yes, it is!Jurgen...LMNt - I just read your post and yes, it is!<BR/><BR/>Jurgen Nation - First of all, Matt sounds truly lovely. And I don't know if we'll ever find out about the shoulds, either. Totally agree - all easier said than done.<BR/><BR/>Heather - Thanks! I like that quote. That's just it, though - lately I'm not laughing OR crying so much. I'm just kind of fine. It's weird.<BR/><BR/>2x4 - I like that suggestion. Hmm. Maybe that's it - I'm maturing? That would be helpful, I guess. But I'd like to be maturing and have fun sparkle...Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-43775580955509323462007-03-01T17:53:00.000-05:002007-03-01T17:53:00.000-05:00Maybe (and this is just a wild guess) you're matur...Maybe (and this is just a wild guess) you're maturing? I think that's what mature people are like. At least, I think I know a few mature people, and they're emotions generally don't have extremes. They get happy, sad, angry, disappointed; but never very extreme in any case.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it's good or bad, but maybe you're maturing.twobuyfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195751674340015830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-3736629985455948902007-03-01T17:51:00.000-05:002007-03-01T17:51:00.000-05:00I don't know what normal feels like either.

Flippant? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the closest definition I have to normal is an excerpt from a speech given by Jimmy V (Championship basketball coach) weeks prior to losing a battle with cancer: <BR/><BR/>"To me, there are three things we all should do every day....Number one is laugh...Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.....If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-46022559368122963562007-03-01T15:48:00.000-05:002007-03-01T15:48:00.000-05:00If you find out what normal feels like, please let...If you find out what normal feels like, please let me know. I'm on a constant search for who I *should* be and what I *should* feel like, but what the hell. Will we ever find out? I'm thinking no.<BR/><BR/>I'm the same way as you are, though - when I'm happy it's obvious. I was so geeked the other day and Matt kept hugging me and I finally asked him what was up, why was he practically humping my leg and he said, "you're happy, you're glowing." And then I think, well what am I like when I'm not. And then worry sets in. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think it would feel better to just live and forget about what it's supposed to be like, feel like, etc. Easier said than done, though, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-28867231186058880322007-03-01T15:02:00.000-05:002007-03-01T15:02:00.000-05:00Wow, this is just introspecive emotional day every...Wow, this is just introspecive emotional day everywhere, isn't it?LMNthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366164460350285592noreply@blogger.com
