Sitting On My Throne Of Cotton-Candy Clouds!

I’m losing patience…

This post could probably be one of the most insensitive ones I’ve written, or simply an honest one resulting from my running-out-of-patience and unwillingness to give excuses to others…

So here’s another boring overdue analysis; and to facilitate the writing and dull-elaborating process I’d be using my uninteresting self as a to-be-repeated-frequently example; it’s worth mentioning however that I’m not necessarily talking about myself! (huh?)

So here we go, starting off easy;

When I’m being all positive, I attract all that is good and positive to come to me. I become a happier person. It’s as if the realization of what good I have, coupled with my positive attitude, makes me amplify whatever more good that comes my way and minimize whatever bad bits that I bump into.

When I’m grumpy/negative, all negative charges gather around me and stick with super glue. Bad things start to come out of nowhere to make me even grumpier. The grumpiness or depression takes no notice of whatever good that could come out of anything, and all energy is focused on the negative things that come along, no matter how tiny they could be.

When I’m happy, as radiant as I can be; all smiles and warm rays of happiness, I become highly provocative to others who are not as happy, or who have too much trouble, or who simply persist to stay unhappy and cynical. I become an outcast, an alien, as the majority is in fact depressed. I also could become a blessing, as some few individuals need that “bright sun” that is my smile to shine and push away those dark clouds.

When I’m grumpy, I surprisingly fit in just fine with others. People seem to relate to my grumpiness and “depression”. I’m perceived as one of them. I become dimmed, heavier, sick, impatient and restless yet unwilling to go anywhere. However, I am also condemned for all of it; for how dare I be grumpy around others? They certainly do not need that!

Anyhow, my point is it’s all about attitude. I could be SAD and still be capable of smiling to myself and others, still capable of keeping a positive attitude, no matter how drained my strength is to keep it. And it’s not cause I care enough to “not trouble others with my sorrows”… hell no… I can trouble others with my “sorrows” all I want if I feel like it (hmm…really?); I mean they might think they’re doing the same thing sometimes and I rarely ever have a problem with it cause I genuinely care (hmm.. depends on who they are). However, I’ll keep that positive attitude for MY sake, to snap out of sadness, to feel better, to keep reassuring myself that better things will come my way, and basically out of my belief that if I expect good things to happen they will, and if I expect bad things to happen they wont disappoint me.

Of course words are so freaking easy, yeah I know! I’m not saying my so called theories are valid all the time; there are other things to be put in consideration. Nonetheless, they still make perfect sense in most cases. I personally cannot even define my current state of mind; surely I am not in distress but I… still can’t define it and maybe I shouldn’t bother so much with pointless definitions and futile analyses, all I know now is that if I believe in good things, the associated vibes will surely help out. And all I’m saying is that people should try that every once in a while (if they can afford it, but who’s to automatically rule out that possibility?)

I know it’s cruel and insensitive to just say that but I’m seriously sick of sulky grouchy faces with closed up spirits and very very little faith! I know I’m in no place to sit back and judge (and btw sweety I swear I don’t mean you, umm.. assuming you know who you are :/ ), but hey… it’s not like I’m all jumping up and down goofily happy and shit… I understand alright… I just hate it when people refuse to try to feel good, I hate it when they give up so freakin easily, and I hate it when they have no faith, I hate it when they don’t work for it, and I hate it when they don’t notice the goodness they’re blessed with! I hate it when people are ungrateful and I hate it when they act like they’re the only desperately unhappy people on the face of the planet (even if they do so unconsciously). ALL of it is okay and even allowed sometimes just as long as it’s not a permanent state of being, but when it exceeds a certain time limit, it becomes absurd.

Yes, I’m judging them! I dislike this sort of attitude and I believe that they can control a huge part of it if they want to! I’m not saying people can change their misfortunes, I’m saying they should have a little faith that things COULD change for the better, and if they cannot have that faith… then I suggest they go ahead and end their lives – less talk, more action – cause there’s no point in living when you have absolutely no hope for a better way to live, ONLY when I reached that state it crossed my mind to end my life… and ONLY cause I realized that this is so easy – such an easy way out with unpleasant consequences – and that I owe it to myself and to others to do some damn effort did I change my mind though I had little faith at the time.

So just cause most of you people out there are drowned in sad shit, it doesn’t mean you HAVE to walk around like zombies all the time… ALL THE TIME! And just cause some people are NOT walking like zombies and who try to look at the Brightside of things, it doesn’t mean THEY are trouble free! It’s not like that alright! Nothing is easy; you work for it, so freaking work for it and believe in what you’re working for.

Damn it, I’m not saying people should force themselves to be happy, I’m just saying try and smile every once in a while, maybe JUST MAYBE that seemingly ugly face of the world will smile right back at you!

Now I’m just pissed!

    If you fell down and cut yourself, you can’t help being in pain eventhough you know quite well you’ll recover in few days. If someone you love died, you can’t help being sad and cry eventhough you believe you’ll see him again in heaven (if you believe in heaven) and that your crying will never resurrect him however hard it is.

    I’m not saying that depression is good and to be respected. I’m saying that when people slip into depression whether it be long or short, usually there are reasons for it they can’t see. It’s not about happiness being despised or looked at with jealousy. being always depressed with no hope in future is some sort of masuchism, and I believe it’s a sickness to be pitied, not judged. Depressed that I am, I never had a moment in which I thought there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. it’s just that the lights seems so far away and hard to get to, and the moment I stop trying to reach it I think I’ll kill myself.

    I don’t know if u meant me or not, but I don’t think so. you’ve been keeping yourself away for long that I believe we lost track of things. I just want to say this: try having some compassion for a change for whoever you were talking about.

    Marooned,
    you’ve taken this far too personal, for what it’s worth it didn’t even cross my mind that you might see any resemblance between what i wrote and yourself.. I simply wasn’t talking about you! I understand all what you’ve said, but you seem to have missed my point. I said above “ALL of it is okay and even allowed sometimes just as long as it’s not a permanent state of being, but when it exceeds a certain time limit, it becomes absurd.” and what I mean is I’m not talking about average depressed people, I’m not talking aslan about “depressed” people… I’m talking about those who refuse or rather reject the MERE notion of trying to believe in better things or better ways…. these people (some of them) do it unconsciously… I realize that… what bothers me the most though is their persistence to remain unhappy and their unwillingness to look at things differently… you missed my point marooned and you interpreted it in a way that would mirror your case!

    I once said – if you would remember – that I tend to disappear for reasons beyond my ability to explain. my “keeping a distance” has to do with that and nothing else. As much as i understand where your words come from, I’m sorry but do not accuse me of not being compassionate enough for/with whoever… if you were to read carefully through my post (without reflecting it on yourself) you would clearly see the difference between what I mean and what you understood! I do not blame people for feeling bad, i do not judge them for feeling bad, i judge them for the unnecessary extended drama queen behavior… and for what it’s worth bardo… this post was not about someone in particular… it was a general post , when i wrote it i had many people in mind most of which are not even close to me yet happen to let me know all about their daily miseries! this post is not even about those people, it’s about me.. basically me…. call me selfish… but i’m tired… i know the world ain’t a pretty place but i hate how depressing everything is wherever i look and negative attitudes affect me terribly and i hate it and i’m tired and i lost my patience and it’s hard to be compassionate with strangers when i only have thaaat much positive charge left in me…. cut me some slack… normally i’d watch what i say so i wont come out as judgmental or cruel or unfair or crude but i’ve had it and i dont see why I’m not allowed to sit back and judge what i see wrong for a change! i’m sorry maroooned, you may think i dont know what it’s like to be “them” or “you” (if you insist on taking it personally), but i’m telling you that you don’t know what it’s like to be ME!

    let me have my break, try and see through the lines, do not take every word and try to place it in who you are, and – although i’m bluntly judging others in this post – try not to judge me for you have no actual idea what it’s like to be me and you obviously have no idea where these words and these thoughts come from!

    sorry for such a long personal annoying comment… i just felt the strongest need to vent; for as much as you were offended by the post i was offended by your comment, especially the last paragraph!!

    Hello dear:)
    Of course i know nothing about that conversation up there!! U r old friends i guess.
    What i want 2 say here is that sometimes u cannot smile! yes, u may try, u may do a real effort 2 get over alot of things, but beleive me,and even if u do have faith, the surroundings and the people around u make things more difficult. I never used to be a person whom u may call frustrated!! never!! my close friends r really astonished of what i am now. Why is that?? i can’t live in this country any more, u never know when things will get better,ahhhhhhhhhhh. I never thought of ending my life al7amdolillah, but i have 2 solutions; either 2 stay at home & stop seeing people or leaving this country 2 a better place where one can find a better system, better justice, better life, with no iron or steel!!!

    so you assumed that I took it all on me, and so you started judgung again. it’s okay to judge I guess, but only for some moments. it’s like hating the world for some hours, then little by little u’re supposed to get over that.
    I’m not depressed all the time, and so I don’t see why you thought I took it as if u’re talking about me. we didn’t even talk for like a month! how would u know if I’m depressed? I might as well be married! that was an unfair accusation, and I hope you can see that yourself.
    I was offended not because I thought you were talking about me, but because you think an illness is absurd. Yes, I consider chronic depression an illness, and to advice someone ill to kill himself is like to advice someone who discovered he had cancer or aids to kill himself cuz the illness is gonna kill him anyway and he has no hope of recovery. I hope you can see my point now.
    advice and even convince whoever u were talking about to see a shrink. that would be taking a positive step, rather than judging and blaming, which is clearly negative.

    Frustrated,
    believe me i understand all that :) I’ve seen people transform into something else as a result of… well… life! I understand how sometimes you just can’t shake it off… 3ashan keda i didn’t mean depression or chronic depression… i meant attitude and whining and actual persistence to remain that way forever and mockery of the mere possibility of having something better one day.. all of this can be tolerated of course for some time (sa3at el wa7ed msh beyeb2a 2ader yeshoof 7aga tanya), but not when this is the default mode to be set on forever! :) I wish I could tell you “no there is still hope in this country and there is still hope in people” :) , I can’t be sure about that… but I can’t say the exact opposite either… rabena yesahel ba2a :)

    Marooned,
    I see there is no point in attempting to explain myself further cause you do not seem to get the point (either in the post or my comment). Thus, in order not to let this drag any further (I don’t like futility), this argument ends here! Subject closed, no offense intended and none taken!

    I guess I have a different prespective..
    Whatever ur mood is, I guess everyone around u deserves a smile or a positive attitude at least every once in a while. It can be hard sometimes, but we have to try not to make life 100% dull!
    I’m not sure if I’m really doing what I’ve just said, but I guess I’m doing fine!!

  8. Evaluna Says:

    Hurricane,
    THANK YOU!
    yeah exactly… I mean gheir the other basic point I’m bringing up, bardo one cannot look dull and act dull all the time, el nas malhash zanb!! thank you! I hate the constant sulky unsatisfied ungrateful attitude.. ya3ny if one feels that way all the time, they should keep it to themselves more often or do anything about it…!
    And I think you’re doing fine :)
