Ups and Downs
Dear Diary,
The past couple of days have been pretty hard for me. You would think there would be some freedom and release after an event but I've just taken some emotional hits. And as much as I'd like to just skip over the hard parts of this, dealing with the sadness, frustration, anger, tiredness. I realize that this is a part of life. We don't get to skip over the hard parts and only feel the good. Because how do you know what good is, if you never experience bad? I know that a better day is coming. I know that I will at some point smile again from the inside out. I know that I will feel better and my laugh will reverberate through the halls, but right now I don't see it.
It's hard to talk about with my friends, so I talk about it to God. I'm honest, I'm frank, I'm uninhibited, mostly because I figure He already knows. I don't want this diary to simply become a whiny recounting of all the bad things that happen in my life, because to be completely honest my life really isn't that bad. God is still good to me. I still see all of the blessings that I really don't deserve. But there was a time that I never acknowledged my feelings, so I'll acknowledge them, feel them, experience them, pray over them and then hopefully release them. Life is full of ups and downs but I refuse to stay down for long.
Love,
THE CHRISTIAN SINGLE WOMAN
