Moods Swinging

~ Gottfried

My moods don’t just swing. They bounce, pivot, recoil, rebound, oscillate, fluctuate and occasionally pirouette. Men have mood swings. Women have mood leaps, mood swirls and mood loops. You don’t know you could breathe wrong until you’re around a woman with a mood leap. Suddenly you’re being accused of taking in too much oxygen per time. If she starts swinging, swing back. And don’t miss.

The chains on my mood swing just snapped. Run for your life! On a bad day, I have mood swings. But on a good day, I have the whole mood playground. You can get punched in the face one minute, and a kiss the next. It’s so full of surprises. I act like I’m always in a good mood when I’m not, but it’s my job. In a bid to become unpredictable, I have lost all sense of feeling. Some argue that I’m dead inside.

Do mood swings count as cardio? I’d like to think so. All that expended energy has to mean something right? If it weren’t for my mood swings, I wouldn’t get any exercise at all. Mood swings are considered to be healthy as long as they do not interfere with your life to an extreme degree. Spoiler alert, they do! Water is the solution to all your problems.

A good mood is like a balloon, one prick is all it takes to ruin it. Please don’t expect me to always be good, kind and loving. There will be times when I will be cold, thoughtless and hard to understand. Usually triggered by starvation. Nothing a hot plate cannot fix. Unless there’s too much salt and we’re back to square one because you’re going to get an honest review on your cooking.

Not to brag but I haven’t had a mood swing in like seven minutes. Women typically last only five minutes before changing moods. Some say it’s the curse of the black pearl. Being a girl isn’t easy. From uncontrollable mood swings to hormonal imbalance and period pains, your hands are quite full. Don’t allow any guy add to your struggles, you’re already going through it. Stay single.

Moods never ask for permission before they change. There I was on my wedding day and out of the blue, my social battery died. Despite my spouse’s best efforts, she couldn’t wipe the look of disappointment off my face. The handkerchief didn’t work. It took a lot of explaining to convince my father-in-law to let me take her home afterwards, which I found rather odd. What was the bride price for?

Beware of mood swings. If you don’t like me today, come back tomorrow. If you still don’t like me tomorrow, you might like me the day after tomorrow. You know what they say? Third time lucky. Humans are known to be largely unreliable. Now what you shouldn’t do is get my hopes up only to predictably dash them. At the end of the day, the truth comes out. I’m not in a bad mood

everyone is just annoying

  5. How is it possible that your social 
    battery would die on your wedding  night?
    You are, without a doubt, a corpse  on the inside.

    And oh, It’s a good thing you’re  aware of your annoyance.🙄😀

  7. Its so true, those mood swings are a thing that really at times make it burst in such a moment making things from bad to worse. But one requires self control to not let the mood take upper hand. 🙏

  8. Men also have a problem with one’s breathing. My new husband slept in… Can’t remember now, but he was top naked and he told his very young and adoring wife, “Don’t breathe on me!” I loved him so much I was trying to smell him up.

    On a serious note I listened to an audio book, an extract from a handbook for angels, which I possess but could never read. Small print and it was as if God was speaking, so I thought, not in the Bible, can’t be good. Still, I have carried it about for years. And now YouTube offeres an audio on it.

    It’s not called that so it was a way into it before I recognized the voice.

    Long introduction, from a swinging mood soul such as yours, I gather the low moods are from our souls trying to connect with the Divine. Our higher selves seek to find His voice. I know. Did say serious.

    But I so identify with smack you, then kiss you thing. My kids were good at dodging.

    I remember my grandmother, quite eccentric would get up some mornings with dressing gown flapping open, long white hair flowing behind her, announcing to one and all, “The devil is on my shoulder today!” The household would go quiet and even the house would stop creaking. I adored her. But I think she had the mood swing that rendered her a bit like Tarzan, swinging from one side of the homestead to the other, barking out orders.

    My poor mom inherited same, but there was nothing elegant about that. Then I got it and my children got it. Luckily it’s been watered down through the generations, and can only be noticed when a politician speaks rubbish. He is luckily tucked behind smack proof glass.

    Happy day, dear lad. Thank you for the playground. I love that picture. Will share with my girls.
    Love and Light.

        1. Ha Ha. Love it! I wake up sometimes in the dead of night and sneak downstairs and raid my house mate’s sweet jar that snaps open and closed because I NEED SWEETS! It’s his jar but we both fill it, so not theft. But I see now that eating is the thing. 90% of the thing. Ha Ha.

    2. They say love makes you want to enter into a persons skin. I don’t blame you. It’s his fault. 😅

      You know a parent gives a shit when they instantly regret smacking you.

      Do have a great one. Thanks for your warm comments. They do wonders to the soul.

      Have a great week
