Rollercoasting Along....

So you're lonely.
It doesn't matter if you're single, married, friendless or full-of-friends..., you still deal with those bouts of loneliness.

Some are more comfortable with loneliness than others.
Some get busy and try to ignore the looming feelings of despair and desolation.
Some soak and bask in it, listening to songs that tear your heart apart, relishing the loneliness - standing on the outside looking in.

But we all fool ourselves if we think we're really alone.

Because at the end of the day, just because you FEEL something, doesn't make it true.


Face it, human beings have emotions.
Not only that, but we have a wide spectrum of feelings and emotions.
And if there were no use for these emotions, we would not have been born with them.
(Think about that for a minute!)

In other words - there is nothing wrong with FEELING alone, afraid, confused, and melancholic..., wanting to fall into despair at the seemingly useless life you lead.

Everything fluctuates.
There is a natural ebb and flow to life..., and even our emotions need a kind of ebb and flow.
So why do we kick and fuss so much during the times when we hit those emotional bumps, making mountains out of molehills?
Well.. I guess that would be because we ARE human.

We ride an emotional rollercoaster - always new and different every day.
Our experiences and thoughts, genetics and learned reactions, shape the way we perceive all that we go through.... and just being IN the moment makes it all feel and seem so REAL and IMPORTANT at the point in time.

Truly, given enough times passes, the magnitude of our experiences often fade in importance.


So why not try this - next time you hit an Emotional Rollercoaster Bump, just remember that:

1. It's perfectly normal
2. You are not alone
3. It WILL pass
4. Things will get better/normalize

And if all else fails...., remember the most important thing:
God knows you can handle, and has a reason for challenging you in dealing with this Bump.

Now.... FIND IT.
