The Way I Am
I don't know it's just the way I am
And if you think this phase is a dark one, then you are mistaken. I can not explain it and never could but whenever i have had hard times and tough situations landing up in some gloomy state of mind and depressions, whenever things went wrong and i lost myself and was in constant searches i was always looking forward to these Eminem-phases because they meant i am back on the way to myself, that i am on the right track and things will be better and better day by day.
I dont know from where does it come, but it started like 5-6 years ago when i lived in Germany. Be it homesickness or the fact that Eminem was with concert in the city i lived (i didnt get into though, had to work on that day *sigh*) but it started at those times and since that i have gone through such phases like 3-4 times only. Which is really good, means i didnt lose myself very often in the past few years :)
Yesterday i felt this need for listening to Eminem again which was really a desire one can not confuse for something else. I started looking for my old cds, took me really some time as i have not held them in the hands for at least one year. But it kept me smiling all the way because i knew it only brings me closer to the moment when i become myself again.
One can never understand that Eminem-phase is a light one, and i wouldnt blame anyone for not understanding it because even i myself dont get it how such music full of aggression, sarcasm, rudeness can eventually lead to something good. But it does and i do not give it a second thought because i really dont care about it, i only know that it makes me feel better and i like it.
And i know that is the way i am and i am happy about it. Because life comes back to me with all the colours and sounds. And i am thankful to having such phases in my life that make me believe that I am stronger than i feel, wiser than i seem and braver than i believe. I am Me. And thats the way it should be :)

Lena,
yes, life is not permanent and so are the feelings life gave is. It's always like a roller coaster ride, unless you are extremely lucky, you might not face sorrow and sadness (really? though I've never seen anyone not seeing these). however, God is great, life is balanced too, sadness and happiness do come and cross our paths at one point or another.
are you a big fan of eminem? looks like you sure are?!:)
True Lena...Nothing is permanent in life..not the happyness , not the sadness!
Glad ur entering the eminem phase.
n yeah..we all hv our own ways of knowing whn we feel better, whn we feel worse etc...for Eg : Whm i'm happy abt sumting, my hair will never be tied up! How weird is that ;-)
Lena,
Yes,It is True. Nothing is permanent in life. Life has its own shadows black in the night,Brightness in the day...It is a continual challenge.. Just take life as it comes and enjoy every bit of it…Have a nice day:)

Pavi, you are absolutely right, thats how things work, we a;; have our ways to cope with situations and our signals that it has become better or worse for us :)
