I'm sorry, I couldn't resist titling this post "feels." :p
For
no good reason, I've felt very irritated the past few days. I've felt
more "on edge" about things, and been a bit frustrated & stressed in
general. I have no idea why. I don't know if it's the stress of school
getting to me, or if it's some odd form of homesickness—but something's
started gnawing away at me and I'm trying really hard not to let it
dampen my attitude.
This has happened a couple of times before—my
suddenly feeling irritated for no reason. Usually, after a lot of
thought, I can pinpoint the source of it and deal with it. I'm hoping
that in a couple days, I'll get over whatever weird frustration I'm
feeling and go back to normal.
But it's funny, because being
randomly irritated has reminded me how powerful our emotions can be.
Being annoyed, by extension, makes me cranky, and being cranky makes me
want to act more sarcastic towards people—it makes me want to sit in my
room and mope all day—and it almost completely drains any motivation I
have.
