Intervening

[Bonnie]

If you are like me, there is an ease within the state of happiness; I can tell you exactly why that euphoria, the blissful joy is with me, and I am always grateful.

When sadness intervenes, though, I want to run in the opposite direction, or I did in a previous life.

I understand our challenges and most importantly, how we manage those, the way we choose to detail them in our lives, are the lessons we all face, but I still find a deep desire to dissect the emotions, to get to know them on an intimate basis, to win them over and shoo them away.

The past few days have been like that for me - a cloud has prevailed which has caused me to wonder and to once again determine that I am too lazy, uninteresting and unfulfilled.

I believe the feelings were triggered by the abrupt end of a very casual and short meeting where I thought potential might live and which disappeared, not after disagreement or difficulty, but directly after kind words and anticipation.

The cold weather, the harsh breezes and the death of warmth and comfort bring sadness for me; it is difficult not to feel alone and about to succumb to a long, deep sleep.

Introspection is rarely a bad thing. Writing about it this well is never a bad thing.

Tender feelings overwhelm us.  Life never promises us anything. You are a beautiful creation.

line 5 is a killer.  line 4 i identify with, it seems i'm never ahead of the game and it haunts me as the ending would imply.

There's a lot people in your philosophical camp Bonnie.

Two solutions are to buy a sun lamp or run away to California:)

This is a post that is fairly easy to identify with.  Your wording is direct but sensitive, and your mood is clear without being sentimental.  I think you voiced something important.
