This blank page has been taunting me. Teasing me with its blankness. If it was a person, it would be doing that thumb on the nose, fingers waving thing that basically means nah na na na naah. It’s sitting in front of me with the cursor flicking mocking me. So, it says, don’t have much to write about lately, do you? Where’d the fire go? Where did the passion end up?
Well, Mr Cursor, you pain in my butt.
My passion and fire haven’t gone anywhere, thank you very much.
They are, like, in hiding or something..? The honest truth is that I all I feel like doing is whinging. All I want to do is sook and complain. It would be fun if I had anything more than nothing to complain about. But, it’s not. I went out to coffee with a friend the other day and I could hear it pouring out of me. The blah’ness of it all. It tumbled out and as soon as I was done I apologised for dumping it. She was cool about it but I wasn’t.
Who I am is joy and contribution. I am not the one who sucks the life and the air out of the room. I’m not the one who does this. Blaaaaaaah. This post is annoying me now more than the cursor flashing the accusations at me. Do you ever have those days when you want to kick yourself in the butt? Tell yourself to get a good nights sleep {argh, if ONLY} and to get over it? Tell me you do and it’s not only me who get caught in this rut sometimes. Reassure me PLEASE.
Fingers crossed this ends soon. Anyone want to tell me a joke!?
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days in the sun at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
I have just had 2 moany conversations on Facebook and then gone back to apologise. Both sets of people have told me its ok to say how I’m really feeling. Those that are positive all the time can tend to absorb a lot of crap from others and some times it a bit of pay back. A lot of my low was is insomnia based for me too. As a long term insomniac I know it’s getting close to time for me to get some sleep aids from the doc. I oh need then for a week or so to get my body back into a sleep routine. I’m not sure if this is something you might have thought of. I know it’s not for everyone but lack of sleep leads to pretty swift decent for me.
It’s certainly the same for me. Look after yourself lady. 🙂
Oh sore forgot the joke – So a lady was walking her 3 dogs, tit, bum and scratchit. She was devestated to lose 2 of the dogs and found a police man who was happy to help. She asked him “will you hold my Tit while I find my Bum and Scratchit.
Haha! Classic. Love it.
Even if you are ‘ joy and contribution ‘…. Some days you just gotta let out the crap.
I think you’re right. 🙂
Oh I so have these moments, and you get so sick of yourself you just want to knock yourself senseless, it’s so frustrating. But the truth is sometimes you just need to get out, shake it out, you know The old saying a problem shared is a problem halved etc, etc. We should never make decisions for others about whether or not they are in a position to help or listen. Sometimes we deprive others from fulfilling moments of feeling useful by just being there for us and listening. Go easy Hun, you’ll be back, as I’ve said before don’t fight it, let it work through you like a wave with its ebbs and flows.
Sorry no jokes but just imagine me dancing a little jig for you instead, perhaps wearing a funny hat. Yeah it didn’t work did it? Agggrrrr I got nothing.
I know you’re probably surprised by this, but the jig TOTALLY helped. Haha. Great advice, thanks lovely.
I think everyone has those days. I was having one today and your post made me feel less blah…..I think Valentines Day is doing it to me. I decided to romance myself with some perfume! That should cheer me up!
Hugs, Susan stylingwithsusieblog.com
I hope your day got better Susan. I’m glad you decided to buy yourself a gift. Perfect.
That is me almost everyday. Lol.
Naaaw, bet it isn’t!
It is. Remember I am an old guy.
<3 you. I get like that, and it is embarrassing when you spill your guts to friends, even when they don't mind. But you can't let it all build up in you either. Sometimes a dump of negativity is what you need to do, get it all out, and hopefully it helps bring you some ease and clarity.
Sometimes I just feel like ‘people have their own problems and why add mine too them’. You know. But it does help to talk them through, it minimises them a little, I think. Reduces them in your mind where they tend to just grow and multiply.
Everyone needs those kinds of days, even those amongst us who are all “happy happy, joy joy” like all friggin time – the reason why they CAN be like that, is because they have days like these where they just let the crap out. Offload. Acknowledge. Deal with it. And move the hell on. I reckon, if you can learn to do that, you’ve actually got life mastered!

Haha. I am totally one of thooooose people. Thanks for the reminder that sometimes it takes letting it go, working through it, to make all the difference.
