Feeling Blue

Yea...I've been feeling uncharacteristically melancholic...too many emotions running amok and and I have a lot rummaging through my thoughts. I cant narrow them down to something in particular. I hate this feeling and to make matters worse a lot of sad love songs have been playing in my head but this feelings go beyond love. It definitely has to do with much more than that. I am a Christian but yesterday I felt like seeing a clairvoyant, a palm reader or anything, anyone just for a quick fix answer.

I feel like I'm involved in some sort of waiting game, what for I dont have a tiny clue and at this point am singing Brandy's Almost Doesn't Count

Almost made you love me
Almost made you cry
Almost made you happy, baby
Didn't I didn't I
You almost had me thinkin'
You were turned around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

Almost heard you saying
You were finally free
What was always missing for you, baby
You'd found it in me
But you can't get to heaven
Half off the ground
Everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

I can't keep on lovin' you
One foot outside the door
I hear a funny hesitation
Of a heart that's never really sure
Can't keep on tryin'
If you're looking for more
Than all that I could give you
Than what you came here for

Gonna find me somebody
Not afraid to let go
Want a no doubt be there kind of man
You came real close
But everytime you built me up
You only let me down
And everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count

So maybe I'll be here
Maybe I'll see ya 'round
That's the way it goes
Almost doesn't count

Almost doesn't count...for love, career, family, everything...and right now, I feel all am getting is almost.

When will the fullness come?

Hey you..move away from that blue ray...

Almost definately does not count when it comes to anything...however sometimes it gives us a clear perspective in realising what it is that we really want

Chin up girl..

Red Sapphire said...

:( not my first "first". anyways now that i have read the damn post and gotten over it not being my first "first".
chin up, head up, and just say "yay" for what you have so far... that would be someone else's almost.

when things are 'not finite'...they will always seem like 'almost'...

you are a christian...you know his love for you is 'infinite'... sweetie trust in him that things will work out...as in love, work family, everything...

Flourishing Florida said...

my dear, do hang in there. days like dis happen. den u wake up & feel "i've got a mightily good deal after all"

The Activist said...

It's all right, it's okay, we gonna feel fine any way. Move on dear is the best.... Am I singing?

Rita said...

Parakeet dear...what can i say...lots of things have been happening around you and you are only human to feel the way you do..I'm sorry I cannot offer any soothing words at this moment...but one thing I remember is Oluwadee's message "Guard Your Heart" and if I am to apply it in your situation it will be "stay away from anything (song, book, movie, people) that will make you sadder"

May the peace and joy of God rest in you...

The Activist said...

BTW, Rita has something to say about u on my blog

Ms Sula said...

Hey Lady... We all go through those moments. And I actually think it's pretty healthy to sit down,take stock and reassess.

I usually equate it to skin shedding. It might hurt, might feel really uncomfortable but at the end, you have a beautiful shiny new skin. Something to look forward to.

I was just in such a period and it lasted longer than I wanted. All the while, I kept asking/wondering what exactly am I doing wrong and looking at things from several different angles. I haven't had any obvious answers as of now but I'm feeling a lotvbetter which means I just needed to go through the process...

Hang in there dearie, this too shall pass

This song does bring memories and I have sang it a few melancholic times myself.

Thirty + said...

Like everyoneelse said we all go through moments like that so just chill.

DON'T DRINK you wake up with the hangover and the melancholic feelings.

Nigerian Drama Queen said...

Everything good will come.
Maybe it's time to do some 'brain-cleaning'. Have some Parakeet time to sort through your thoughts...
Hope you feel better! Muah...xx
