My True Colors

These last few days have been full of ups and downs.  Little ones, not big ones.  But no matter the scope, my emotions have run high and my heart hurts a little from someone else’s actions.  Oddly enough, not someone that I am even that close to.

It is truly amazing to me what one human can do to another, not really even knowing they’ve done it.  I am certain that is the case here.  But it was still done and I still feel it.  I feel it a lot.
I am a feeling person, always have been.  I try not to wear my heart out in the open but I know I do it anyway.  It is a big part of who I am so I cannot deny it, even if I try…
This weekend at B’s soccer tournament they won only 1 out of 4 games and even though they still got a lovely token for their efforts, he and his teammates felt pretty defeated.  Last year they won, so that made it extra hard.
I felt the same way this weekend… like last year I won but this year, not so much.  Somehow I did not play well enough and ended up losing.  And I hate that feeling.
Lately K has been showing her emotions with a lot of crying, especially if she does not get her way.  The other day I felt like crying with her.  See, I didn’t get my way with something either.  Someone else was in control and I had to succumb to these emotions, so raw and real.

I want to put it behind me now, but it’s hard. 

I want to be the same fun-loving, happy person I know myself to be.
And I will, it just may take a little time.
I wish there was a switch I could flip or that I had one of those magic memory erasing things like they have in some Sci-Fi movies. Just to take this one little thing out of my brain -to clear it and free myself from this.
Forever.
A couple of photos that do make me smile…
