A formerly anon blogger, trying to make it honest
Lately I’ve been thinking about how my life is one big balancing act. I feel like I’m in between a lot of things and various extremes. Being satisfied and being miserable with my job, liking and disliking being single, being fat and getting skinny, being poor and being OK financially, and just being happy and unhappy in general; based on all of the aforementioned factors.
I’m not sure if I’m being overdramatic, maybe I am…but I just feel like I can’t win. I have the great ability to see almost every situation from both sides - so with every decision I make to make a change in my life, I see the benefits and the drawbacks. Change can be a good thing, it can be refreshing, exciting, and even a life altering experience. But, there is also something to be said for remaining loyal - to yourself, to your loved ones, and to other factors in your life that have proven to be good for you.
I’ve found it hard to concentrate lately, and hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that I feel like I want, or need, or what I’m lacking (if anything). It’s hard to tell if it’s a problem that can be fixed, or if it’s something deep inside of me that I need to evaluate and examine. It’s not that I’m necessarily in a funk, I know when I’m down and depressed - it’s more like I’m at a reflective stage, but not quite sure what my reflection is showing. Again, maybe I’m just being overdramatic.
Hopefully though, all will reveal itself in time - although I don’t always know what’s going to happen and can’t control everything that I want to…I do believe that most everything happens for a reason - and have this blind faith and optimism that whatever happens will be for the best.

I completely understand and have felt very similar at different points throughout this summer…I think it is a reflective and learning period and a time to find what truly makes you happy…it won’t be easy but it will end up being an important part of your life in the long run
You’re in good company. Join the club!
That’s life. It’s the citizen’s dilemma.
At least you know you’re not alone! Everyone goes through this type of phase. And most likely more than once!
I respect anyone who’s willing to make a change.
Dam welcome to life nerdo. Maybe your problem is that you have no compass, direction or purpose to your existence?? I read your blog but I never ever get a feel of what you enjoy….what your passionate about?? Maybe that would help your dilemma if you sat down and figured out what you want to accomplish and plan accordingly. I’m not gonna lie…I totally understand this post and its taken me a long time to figure out what my passions, my goals to accomplish before I perish. But thats my rant sista….Have a great day….
i always feel like that when i’m about to receive a visit from aunt flo . . . with us being twins, this may be the same for you. like siryn said, you’re not alone, dear.
Reflections are signs of wisdom. You are growing as a person and are therefore more in touch with your feelings. It is part of human development. But hold on to it for it is the most exhilirating and amazing time in your life- the time when you got to know yourself.
