You know that question that people like to ask? Its something like, would you rather have a mix of absolutely amazing moments and absolutely horrible moments or just a consistent strand of mediocrity (actually now that I think about it I think its in reference to friends…would you rather have one really awesome friend or lots of ok ones, but the general principle still applies). 

ANYWAY

I used to always think my answer was the first choice. As an emotional person I typically tend to experience even mediocrity in more extreme ways than most people. So I guess I figured extremes are what make life interesting and really what make me who I am. 

Well, this past week was pretty much filled with a taste of exactly what that type of life would look like. The good parts of last week were so good. I was so happy, so proud of myself, filled with so much laughter and good spirit. And the bad, well it was filled with pretty much the opposite: lots of tears, negativity, depression, etc. etc. I suppose I can be glad that at least I think the week ended on a high. But now that everything has winded down, I am just left feeling emotionally drained. I always love it when people compare things to a bank account (I can’t think of any specific examples of this right now but I promise its happened). To use that analogy, I feel like my emotional bank account was drained and filled so many times this week that the bank no longer wants my business and I have been thrown out on the street with a tin can trying to get people to give me some money to rebuild a new account. This is a really exaggerated analogy but I can totally picture it and it feels fitting to me. And I just explained how I am an emotional extremist so of course I am going to make things dramatic. I acknowledge it. I am owning it. So shut up.
