Mr. Mood Swings

Dear Mr. Mood Swings,

I spoke to you once about all the things I loved about you and how I couldn't find anything I disliked. They haven't changed and since you are still skeptical about me saying there is nothing about you I dislike I am dedicating this letter to you. I don't remember the list word for word but I am certain your personality traits ranked very high on the list of things I love about you. Have you ever realized how different we are, especially when it comes to personality? I wonder sometimes who is the woman you or I (that was a joke but ill explain it later on). I also told you that everyday you surprise me in the most unconventional ways, which I may add I love too. I know this may sound odd but I love that everyday you are a different man. So I have made another list, a list of all the different sides of you and how each and everyone whether they be negative or positive are still special and I love em just the same. I feel sometimes that you forget that men and women are different and that words said a certain way can sound like something completely different to a man or a woman. As a man you may say something as a joke but a woman might understand it as a personal attack and therefore dislike you. In my case when you say something that, to me seems negative I don’t like to overreact letting that one negative thing outweigh every other time you are Mr. Nice guy, which explains why I never call you out when you think what you have done is inappropriate. I want you to understand something about me that whether you believe in these things or not are inherent in my personality and that is balance. I am a Libra and though it may sound a little loopy astrology does have some truths to it. I find balance in chaos. So even though your personality may appear chaotic to some, tough, vulnerable, sweet, mean, sassy, respectful, there is still balance in it. Patterns, I am sure you would agree, can be found anywhere and there is a pattern to you as well. Some days you can be very sweet and others very mean but the fact that you are neither for a long time indicates you cycle moods and thus you are balanced. I love your moods because they make me think differently every time. Just when I think you mean one thing it turns out you mean something completely different and if it turns out you are simply playing mind games then I have fallen hook, line, and sinker. Your powers of persuasion and argument are beyond those of any other I have ever met. Some times I think of you as that character is the movie "Thank you for smoking", you live by the code "That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong” and that in itself turns me on beyond words lol. I even feel like the reporter from the movie except my powers of seduction have no effect on you. So, I spoke about a list well here it is …

“The Many Moods of Mr. Mood Swing”…
1.)Sweet- surprise you listened when I told you about the chocolates and how special they were to me so you saved me two pieces and that was not only sweet to my mind but to my tummy lol and that is always a plus in my book.

2.) Mean- when you say phrases like “good luck with that” especial after I say something sweet to me is very mean. The phrase itself may seem hard enough but with certain things it is important to take into consideration the state and mood of the person you are directing the remark too. For example the phrase sorry homes to anyone else may seem to have mean-full connotations but to me it has an endearing connotation and though despite the mood I am in will always seem sweet and not mean.

3.) Aggravated, Annoyed- I often see this mood in you but it has never bothered me and certainly not a reason to dislike you. Aggravation is a natural mood of the stress we encounter simply for breathing. Anything and any one can aggravate us.

4.) Alone- I love that you enjoy alone time to yourself because this means I get time for me too and given my likes, being alone for the most part has never bothered me. I believe that sometimes couples get lost in each other when they try to do everything together, this is an idealistic attempt to be perfect and it never works. We all like and love different things you cannot force your mate into doing things he/she that by nature dislike. The feeling being alone can be reinvigorating for a couple for the most part. This is your man “cave” time, reflect, react, recharge.

5.) Apathetic/indifferent- out of all your moods this one probably affects me the most and it is one of your faces that I least understand but I still love. Apathy is one of the moods that for the worst part of my life consumed me so I know how mind numbing it can be to feel this way. You start to question why?, what’s wrong with me?, what’s wrong with her? What’s wrong with this picture?. No matter how much you spin these questions in your mind sometimes there just isn’t an answer but this is when another mood takes over and that is courage/bravery/strength at least in my case it did. I felt hopeless at one point, and hopelessness leads you to even worse moods like depression, and yes even suicide. That’s why I said courage and strength win for people who are strong willed. You are strong willed and I love that, I love that no matter how apathetic you can get you still care and you still love and you still have the common sense to do the right thing despite the outcome.

6.) Grumpy- call me crazy but I love your grumpy side. So what, I don’t get a kiss or a smile in the morning. No one is a morning person anyways, except me but I am special, and I discovered coffee at age 1 but it’s not about me it’s about you. Every time you get grumpy all I want to do is hug you and give you a hugs and kisses to warm your heart. This may piss you off more but I don’t care

7.) Playfulness- I love when you feel playful but this is another mood you must take care with because if I am not feeling playful it doesn’t work and I may react negatively to your playfulness, I suppose you can say this about any mood or better yet different simultaneously interacting moods lol. Like when you threw a piece of paper in my face or you handed me a napkin full of crap. I took this hurtfully but it was not your fault it was mine. When people expect certain things they often times get disappointed and that was the case this time. I had missed you all day and I was not having a good day despite it being my best friend’s bday. When I asked to be with you I expected a warm hug and a kiss…instead I was greeted with no kiss and a balled up napkin full of crap. Men or women are not mind readers and without communication these misunderstandings happen. I should have told you how I felt and maybe Mr. Sensitive would have understood and I would not have been greeted by Mr. Playful. So in conclusion though I am sure I could probably write a whole book about you Mr. Moods I will use your motto and say “if you argue correctly, you're never wrong” and so if you ever doubt that I love everything about you just read this again and hopefully amongst all the mumbo jumbo you’ll see why….they say love is unconditional, right?
