Short Story About Funky

990 Words4 Pages

Do you ever wake up and just feel funky? I can remember feeling this way, even when I was a kid. It rarely happens anymore but it hit today and well, I just didn 't like it. I woke up, nothing out of the normal happened, Gus came into my room and crawled in bed with me, Brian was already up and heard the baby and brought her in and the three of us laid in bed before getting our day started snuggling. I could tell though, something just felt eh... different. All of my insecurities seemed to shout at me this morning... every one of them. Do you ever have that? I am certain it is "normal" but yuck! It 's that fast forward thing your brain can do - but it 's actually just playing moments of the past over and over in your head and it seems like you just covered the last 20 years of awful moments in about 2.3 seconds. As I type I wonder, maybe I 'm alone on this one? But something also tells me I 'm not. And I just did a google search about feeling funky and it turns out many people have written many things about "483 easy steps to get out of that funk and feel better" (that 's sarcasm for those of you not familiar with its frequent use by me) so it 's been confirmed - I am not alone. …show more content…

Those moments that are playing over in my head I handed over to God and told him I was leaving them at His feet and I wasn 't picking them back up. Do you know those moments? Those tend to be the ones that play the loudest on funky days. Ugh. I don 't like them, I didn 't like them when they happened and I certainly don 't like them on rewind and repeat. Anyway, that 's where I 've been today. No other shoe dropped that I 'm aware of, although I was certainly waiting for it. Clearly, that was a waste of my time. If you have ever dealt with anxiety, don 't you think that might be the most frustrating part of all? That you realize it 's a time waster? Good moments passing you by because you are stuck in

  • The Smell Short Story

    588 Words  | 3 Pages

    I think the main idea of the short story, The Smell, by John Seabrook is that covering up something that is frowned upon will not get you anywhere and the truth will always come up. This is shown in the short story when then townspeople complain about the smell, when T. enterprises shop closes and when Daniel Chan lied about the smell. Firstly, the main idea is that something that is frowned upon will not get you anywhere and the truth will always come up is because of when the towns people complained about the smell that was all over town. “No one could say just what the smell was--only that it was certainly caused by putrefaction of some kind of flesh … We get a lot of bad smells in this business, but I never smelled anything like that”.

Frustration is a very complex word, so I don’t think that there is one exact definition for it, but frustration is a certain emotion that everyone endures on an everyday basis, maybe even multiple times a day. Some people may handle frustration well, while some other people may get angry, yell and even cry.

Dust on the cracked white porcelain of the sink, mold growing in the niches and corners and jagged lines. The sunlight slanting through the window in long planes that stream down across the pale of the floor. The television blaring loudly in the other room above the clink of beer bottles and the wailing sobs of the baby.

When I did the talent show (actually did this song) I thought I could not do it, but after I got on stage I realized I could do it. Just like in the quote I lost confidence but then I knew I could do it. “Get back up again” by Anna Kendrick is a song where the singer is forced to make a decision that is not easy, which makes me think about the tough decision ahead of me and how they can actually make you more confidante and benefit you in the
