Letting the Days Go Bye

I am having a minor meltdown week.
If meltdowns can be considered minor (?)
I dont know what is up.
(maybe it is my janked up hair cut?)
Random things have set me off this week.
I just feel like I have stopped in the midst of where I am and what I am doing
and my brain is bombarding me with one thought:
" What the hell am I doing?"
And along with this question come a plethora of others that just add to the meltdown:
" I should have done this way back then."
"Why didnt I do that when I had the chance?"
" That was a huge mistake!"
and I know that most of you are probably not regret people.
And I am not saying I live in the past and over think it.
But I am definitely a "What If" person which I think can translate into someone who carries around some regret.

And I think this "What if/regret" is what is causing my minor meltdowns.
Do any of you ever get like this?

I think the reason I sometimes live in the regret/what if land is because I am still not totally sold on my life at the moment.
I mean I am happy and life is good.
But what the heck am I doing?
And I think because there is so much I still want and long for but dont know how to complish or get to,
I tend to live in the past and ponder the What If's and dwell on the shoulda coulda wouldas.
In College,
My roommate Dieter and I would jam out,
quite consistantly, to the Talking Heads.
and today I remembered one of there songs that pretty much sums up (with a catchy tune) what I feel and where I am right now.


Oh and this one too, my all time favorite song, pretty much sums it up too.









Peace,

  1. I feel ya on this one! I hope you figure things out. I try to remember that never taking risks never gets you anywhere. Just wish I could live by that sometimes. Love the song - but I think I love the goofy 80s music video better!

  4. We've all been there. I definitely know the feeling of those times in life where you honestly have the question, "What is going on? and Why?" I'm sorry. I'll pray it gets better for you. Rely on your friends and try to do things that truly make you happy.

  5. Under pressure was ALWAYS a fave of mine too :)

    Sorry to hear you are having a tough week. You certainly aren't alone in the "what if" department. I look back over the last few years and wonder if I was just wasting my time. I wonder why I didn't do things differently. BUT...I'm just trying to use those thoughts to change what I'm doing today. Hopefully it works :)
