I wanted to…but I didn’t

I was going to paint my face for Halloween this evening. It’s something I do yearly that I quite enjoy but the unfortunate part is I allowed someone else to smash my mood and make me not want to do anything at all. Which is the worst feeling in the world, really.

So instead of doing many traditions I usually enjoy, I did nothing. And I don’t say this because I want sympathy, I tell you so you don’t do the same mistake I made.

Never let someone else control your thoughts, feelings or emotions. It might be the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your life, but maybe for once, be sure to be the only one to make yourself cry.

So here’s a selfie from Halloween a few years ago when I got to spend the evening exactly how I wanted to, without allowing someone else to affect me.

Emotionally yours,

Norma Rrae

PS Happy Halloween
