Silver Lining


Listening to: Sia 
Song: Chandelier



FYI: I am obsessed with this song, love the video too. 









I have not been inspired in a while, it’s crazy when everything is going good or what we call “normal” I’m not inspired to write, but when I start getting this funny feeling in the pit of my stomach, some would call it anxiety, I would like to call it that time of the month when a woman becomes, over analytical and emotional and just thinks way to much about everything.



 I have been in many situations where I as a woman going through this hormonal roller coaster have been called, crazy, insecure, and emotional. I feel a difference when this time comes, I feel like something is wrong with me.



Is there something wrong with me?

I notice when I am alone I go through the motions when it is the time of the month, just like any other day.  I don’t have to worry about hurting anyone’s feelings, or having to apologize for being annoying or just angry. When there is someone new in my life especially the male species, I get extra emotional, insecure, and “crazy”.

I try to hide it as best that I can, because I don’t like to have to explain why I am acting all weird. I try to hibernate. Live my life as normal as possible.


I met this guy recently, this is just a friendship, and I liked him when we first met, but he felt differently towards me. He was so nice and such a change from everyone that I have met, that we stayed friends. He is honest and open about his feelings, knows how to communicate. I liked that, finally someone that I can have deep conversations with, and be myself and goofy and just not care.

I met him when my hormones were normal. We have hung out and seen each other several times, had long conversations, so he knows the real me!!! The silly, quirky, and adorable me.


Recently since I’m going through those womanly, monthly situations i.e. (period). I have been so stupid and feel so nuts around him. I have been very open to him about my emotions, which of course every woman says that is a big NO, NO. Like I've said before he is not someone I've met before. I think the difference is that he is getting his doctorate in psychology. That does make a huge difference.  He understands the mind, and the reactions to things that happen to you in your life, and the control of hormones and other things.


He is so smart and funny; he is a kind person. When you are feeling down and out he will always try to relate to you in some way. Yes of course that is his profession to help make you feel better but he doesn't have to tell you his secrets or insecurities, but he does. This is what I have been looking for when it comes to a male friend, I only truly found that with one other person but he went away to live in panama, and I haven’t really ever spoken to him again. He was the only other guy that I was able to just talk to for hours and laugh and be myself 100%.


I have always been an outspoken kind of gal, open and honest and never been afraid of expressing myself, now as I get older, I actually don’t even care about what people think about me. I know what I want in a person when it comes to involving them into my precious life. This life should only be surrounded by people who love and care for you. Who will try to push you to be a better person and want you to be happy in life!
 I know God brings people in our lives for a reason, sometimes we don’t know why or what will come out if it, but there is always the silver lining at the end of it. I most definitely believe in that. There is always good that comes out of things and yes even especially the negative things, you just have to be open and aware of what they are.


So to my new friend, whom I've known for a brief moment, but I feel I've known you for a very long time. I don’t know how much time we have in each other’s life but I do want to say thank you for being so real, honest, and different. You have made me see that other than the men in my family, there are real men out there. I always knew there were, but it was starting to become a myth in my mind like the loch ness monster or big foot.
