That time of the month...

There are days when I feel like I am stumbling through life. I feel disconnected from what is going on around me, forget to complete tasks, pick up my cell phone constantly to see if anyone is thinking of me and can cry at the drop of a hat.

Then I get to the end of the day and no matter what I did do that day - it just doesn't seem like enough, since my mind was constantly preoccupied. I feel ungrateful for what I have, and that makes me even more mad at myself.

Why do I feel this way? (WARNING: I'm going to make a huge joke out of this.) Its that time of the month! That stupid week where girls' hormones go crazy! I don't understand the biology behind it ( if you do, please comment and explain!), but I do know I've felt crappy about myself all week.

I think these days when we feel like we have so much control over our happiness - always having the option to pick up the phone and call mom for some encouragement, text our boyfriends who are miles away and call friends all the way across the country or on the other side of the globe - we forget about the possibility that sometimes your body can just feel downright shitty.

Excuse the language, but to save ya'll from feeling as down on yourself as I have this week, remember that you are allowed the possibility to be in a funk, to not be perfect and miss a few things. One day I'll master the art of not taking things to seriously.

Until then, I'm gonna sleep it off! Goodnight:-)
