Do you ever have one of them days where you’re looking fly and on point but can’t get the picture? Lately I have been having one of them days, I know I look good and feel it but my selfies just won’t show it. One time I asked my sister to take a picture of me whilst we were out cruising the Thames. The picture turned out hideous and when I mentioned to her she was like it’s not me in it is it? That little sod, ah well sisterly banter is always on with us but seriously 😒 it’s been crazy.
It’s ok to have One of them Days
Since beginning of March I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with everything in my life. I am having moments of true happiness followed by real low blows but I can’t explain it. There days I feel like I know who I am and where I am going but then I have one of those days. Not sure if I am on the right path, not sure if I should be doing what I am doing. When you’ve been an “us” for so long, you forget how to be a “me” kind of person. It’s like trying to relearn how to walk and talk and biggest one, how to socialise.
I realized today whilst meditating in the shower (no I wasn’t asleep) I don’t have any new friends. It’s been 5 years since I finished university and since then I have made only 3 friend. Of those three only 1 I can say I tell everything and that friend really gets me. I realized apart from traveling and meeting new people abroad, I don’t actually socialise at home. I have set a crazy routine for myself, get up go to work, finish work come home and sleep and repeat.
Granted I have never been one to go down the pub and meet people. It’s sometimes sad to think if I was to die in my apartment no one would know except my parents.
One of those days as turned into one of those weeks and now months. Everyone has moments of feeling quite low with no explanation. Whilst I am never one to dwell on the lows as I like being optimistic it does get to me. There times where I think, it would be nice to have someone with me and then I think actually I do like my own company. Which is nice but I have come to a point of needing 50/50 of own company and that of others.
Maybe this is a more of insanity I do not know but one of those days is turning into one of those months.
Do you ever have such moments in your life?

I can totally empathise with this. I always try and consider just how lucky I am but then something will just push my buttons and I can’t shake it.
Anosa says
Thanks so much I will
Stephanie says
Oh yes your not alone, I’m very happy and I should be but I sometimes get really down about things. So hugs given x

I find it is so common to be this way. We’re so busy, with routines and our day to days, then when we sit back and comtemplate it all, that is when the questions start coming. The feeling will lift, but maybe it is about changing the routine and breaking free a little.
And as mentioned before me, you do look fab 😉
Anosa says
Awww thanks Jen and so true, I need to snap out of my routine and try something new
Jayne says
I definitely have days like this. I hope your spirits lift soon.
Loving your selfies by the way, you look fab 🙂 x
Anosa says
Aww thanks Jayne, made me feel that much better
Talya Stone says
I am having one of those days today and I blame it on the fluctuating weather! Spring can be a cruel tease sometimes :/

It can sure be that for sure
Lilinha Espindula says

Newcastle Family Life says
I used to feel like this often when I was in my early twenties, now I am a mum I kind of miss those times as I don’t get 2 seconds to myself. I know it is easier said then done but enjoy this time, I wish that I had of more xx
Anosa says
Thank you, I will focus more on than and just enjoy this time
London Mumma says
I think we all have those moments, be it days, weeks or months. But fret not it will pass and you will be on cloud 9 again. Just enjoy your me time, before you know it you willl be swamped with family and friends and craving that time. xx
Anosa says
Thank you for that sound advice very much appreciated
Joanna says
I definitely have these moments some times I just feel so lonely and feel really low
Anosa says
I hate the feeling but I know if I don’t dwell on it I will be fine
Laura Dove says
I definitely have these moments, although I am always surrounded by all of the children, but I think the worst feeling is when you feel alone surrounded by a roomful of people, I feel that way far too often. xx
Anosa says
Absolutely it’s the worst feeling
Deborah Nicholas says
haha having 6 children i certainly have these moments, ones where i wish i was alone and yet everyone is around but then on the other hand when no one is around i wish they all were! we are never happy lol
Anosa says
That’s true, sometimes we can be surrounded by people we love and still feel totally hopeless and alone
