Ever Have... One Of Those Days?
Ever Have... One Of Those Days? If there was a pill you could swallow... to never feel sadness again - would you take it? She wished somebody, had offered her one... as soon, as she stepped into that, empty house. Her heels, clicked across the dark grey, stone tiled floor and echoed, off the bare, white walls, as she reached the kitchen. Slowly, she pulled the keys, from the brass ring and threw them, on the black marble counter. He... had already been there, and had left his set... neatly stacked and labelled. As usual... he'd taken pride, in his pointless, self-absorbed, neatness. She sighed, as she glanced at her watch, and realized she was early. The real estate agent, wouldn't be there for another hour. She would linger, for 60 minutes more, in the home, where she'd lived, for 32 y.ears . Imagined voices and laughter, called to her. She followed them... down the hallway and up the stairs. She walked into rooms, once littered, with toys and dolls and where clothes... had been strewn in piles, on beds. She smiled to herself, recalling all those silly, motherly complaints. The walls, with their tiny holes and scratches, and scrawls (in pencil and pen), offered clues... that someone had lived there. Time had been measured... in inches... as they'd grown. "My gosh. Were they really, that little?" she thought to herself, as she bent down, to touch her daughters' initials. They were squiggled, in red and blue crayon, and had nearly faded, into invisibility. In another room, she closed her eyes, and almost smelled - the fresh paint. She'd always loved that shade of green and was proud, of her efforts, with a roller and a brush. He... never forgot to remind her... just how much, he hated that colour. Eventually, she wandered back... into the kitchen. An open drawer, drew her closer. She peered in... and tucked, right at the back, found something... that had been left behind. It was a picture. A small one, framed, by the people who sold it to her. You've probably seen them. They're the ones snapped, as you roar down the steep angles, of those epic rides, at amusement parks? "Wow," she whispered to herself. "This, is from so... long... ago." The four of them; her family... Mouth's open, hands raised, laughter frozen - in that moment. She recalled... it had been raining, that day. The park, was almost empty and there were no lines, for any of the rides. They'd ridden the giant roller coaster, 4 times in a row. "That... was a great day. That, was a really... great day," she smiled. She held the photo closely, while peering into the expressions, of her . "Oh my gosh. The girls, look so tiny. We all look... so young. Everyone's so happy ! Even him..." she thought, "... even him." They live a thousand miles away - her , that is. They're adults now, with families of their own. They call... occasionally. That amusement park, has long since, closed up, been torn down... and replaced with condos. She brushed her hair, with her fingers... and glanced at her watch... Ever have one of those days, when sadness and nostalgia, wrap around your throat - like a warm scarf, that you just don't want to take off... even if you know, it's choking you? She stood there... clutching that photograph tightly... with both her hands, afraid to let it go. She was having... one of those days ................ So... Would you take that pill, if someone offered it to you? What do you do, to cheer yourself up? Studies have shown that people who shed tears and express sadness are more apt to lead healthier, and happier lives... in the long run. Something to do with releasing emotions, as opposed to keeping them all bunched up. Hmmm.. Ok then. I won't feel bad, next time I cry at a movie. . . .............. . ...... . . ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O |

I wouldn't take that pill. I'm an emotional person. But, I'm not one to dwell on the past. If I think about it... I like to think about happy times. Every once in a while... I'll remeber something, even as I walk around my home - and find a note from my daughters, or a Birthday card or a small toy. I'll give that toy back to them... when I'll see them. I'm getting older.. We all are. Memories of all sorts fill my head, from time to time. I like to focus on the happy ones. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Music always cheers me up, no matter what... So that's what I'll do. Listen to music. Or go for a drive in the car, to one of the places, where I like to walk. You know me... Usually by the lake, somewhere. The internet is a great diversion as well. And of course, a good book or movie - is always a happy thing to do. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

everyone gets sad or has that bout of melancholy , if no one has then they either lie to themselves to make them feel better or has no to little feelings...no pill for me I like that I can look back on everything good or bad in my life and reason why it might have went one way or the other , that's what sets us apart from any other animal on the planet..denying that you don't even get a twinge of any type of emotional high or low , sad or happy etc..puts you in a bracket of self denial for any type of memories..then well..it sucks to be you ..lol good post

I don't want to imagine living the bleached out, featureless life that pill would give you. You would never feel the intensity of the good times without the sad times to contrast them, any more than you would learn from the sadness without the joy. Yin and Yang.

Pain certainly does allow you to appreciate pleasure much more.. Although.. when I ripped a tendon in my hand a few years back, I didn't need quite as much of it to appreciate pleasure. 😶The pain killers they gave me were.. fine! 😊 Yes.. I've read about your love of kayaking. I'll have to try that one day. I would love to. And music.. at a loud volume? 🎵🔉 Sure... That, is always a plan! 😊👍 Read about your Bnb adventure.. Sounded like fun.... 😊 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

True how many of us, are emotional. I'll pass on the pill, 💊 unless it's some sort of magic pill, that also... uhhh.. Never mind.. Lol 😁 Yep.. Music seems to do it for many.

You would never feel the intensity of the good times without the sad times to contrast them, any more than you would learn from the sadness without the joy. Yin and Yang. I think, in my case... the thing that I would appreciate is a little more balance. Not let the highs get to high... And not let the lows get too low. But.. I'm an emotional guy, so I might get a tad carried away... on some days. If you have balance.. then that's the key... Right? 🔑😊 Thanks for popping by.

What a very sentimental story as to your question about the pill NO I wouldn't take it. I would find something to occupy my time so I wouldn't have to think about my life if it were so sad like hers. Music also has a way of cheering me up, I hope you have a great day..

I believe that you do.. And from what you've told me about yourself.. You use ALL of them.. 😂😱 I use all of them as well... But the sad ones, I like to drown out with music!

I can think of a time - or two - when emotional pain was so great that I truly thought my heart was breaking. If someone had showed up, at that breaking point, and offered me a pill to take that sadness away, I might have said yes ..... IF it was a one time pill. But even at that moment, I would have asked about frequency and turned down anything that required dependency. A walk in nature - regardless of the weather - always lifts my spirits. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Part of what makes us human is the range of emotions that we have and feel. I wouldn't take that pill as looking for a pharmaceutical 'cure-all' or 'quick fix' isn't something that I subscribe to. If I need cheering up, music, movies, reading, going for a long walk, flipping through photo albums, talking to my best friend are things that help.

Any weather? I thought you hated winter and the dreaded wind chill...? I don't hate winter but you caught me .... ALMOST any weather. I'll skip the walk on those days with the icy wind that pierces the soul. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

True... Don't need pills for that. Real life includes the good with the bad.. and the good is so much 'gooder' when you can compare it to the bad... How's the cough?

The pill could also be symbolic.. mythical.. almost magical.. So the pill, doesn't have to be chemical.. If it was a one off, would you reconsider? But I understand. I don't think I'd want to be numb either.... Hey.. Music.. Kool! Wanna go for a ride? I'll keep the volume under 21( that's my max lol 😂❤️)... Going for a ride 🚗 with the tunes 🎼 blasting would be a great way to chase away the winter ❄️ blues! Do I get to control the dial?

I didn't want to overstate my misery lol. It was just normal misery. Every day stuff.. where I would have tried that pill, just to test it out... Lol 💊😂 But it's all good. I agree with you...

No, not even a ‘one-off’. Going for a ride 🚗 with the tunes 🎼 blasting would be a great way to chase away the winter ❄️ blues! Do I get to control the dial?

No, I wouldn't take the pill. Without the sad we cannot appreciate the happy. I listen to uplifting or cheerful music, throw pottery, sew, or spend time at the beach. All of those will lift my spirits. "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

Not a chance! Sadness is part of our humanity ... it's one of the many emotions that bring us into closer connection with others, with the Creative Force (God, or however you wish to describe that); it's one of the experiences that makes us know we are ALIVE.

This story made me cry. No, life comes with wonderful, nice, bad, and truly awful things. The cliche is that life is what happens when you make other plans. However, it is certainly true.
