Lately something strange has been happening to me. And I mean, VERY strange. Abnormal really.
I don’t know how to really explain it but I’ll give it a go. Now you must know, im usually an emotional person but I go to great lengths to make sure that its hardly ever visable. I know why and wont delve into that right now, but anyone who knows my history can probably make an educated guess.
But lately I’ve been crying.
No not because of something sad, or even happy if im honest. I’ve been crying about Christmas.
Now I know how that sounds, so no im not insane or anything. Just I’ll be listening to a song or watching a film and then suddenly im brimming up with tears for no apparent reason.
And I NEVER cry.
As a child ... sure! I could cry like the best of them. I could produce crocodile tears at the drop of a pin and real ones even easier. Scarcely a day went by where I didn’t cry, and then my Nan died and I just got fed up with everything. Long story short I repressed emotions (for various other reasons too) and I never cry anymore.
To this day, thinking of my Nan is the ONLY thing that is guaranteed to make me shed a tear. But now, this!
I know its not serious or particularly interesting. Heck, I agree with that! But it IS intriguing.
Sure I love Christmas, a lot! I mean, like a lot a lot! But not enough to be that emotional about it. I mean, why this dramatic a change in so short a space of time?
Is it because im on my own completely private? it is because im away from my family? Is it an innate characteristic that is only JUST rearing it’s head?
Or is it just one of those random changes that affects us all?
