"we are motionless"

Fluctuate

Hah! It's funny.  I think at times people who read this blog must wonder, just how many mood swings I can get in a year.  From happy to sad, sad to happy, the posts jump this way and that.  I guess perhaps if I blogged on a more consistent basis these sudden shifts in mood wouldn't be so drastic.  But alas, that's simply a luxury I am unwilling to pursue.

I think in the past week I have I gone from extremely disappointed, to feelings of elation and back down to not knowing what the hell I am doing.  I guess this surge of emotions has become a daily nor in the life of this crazy narrator.

There are times where I wish I could really sit down and explain to people why my emotions work this way.  Why it is that I can be so content and so unsatisfied at the same time.  But you see, I just don't think that would be possible.  It would be like solving the mysteries of being human in one go.  Admittedly, it would make life quite a deal simpler.

I have some inklings as to the source of my current discomfort.  But as for a possible remedy, the jury is still out.

Of course, how does one fix a lifetime of insecurities?  It's quite easy, I hear.  You just go to the magical confidence store and buy a lifetime supply of Serum 192: Love Thyself.  I guess I better start saving up.

"this time is ours"
"Here's what I think, Mr. Wind-Up Bird," said May Kasahara. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."
