mama said there'd be days like this
My life has been turned upside down lately and it is starting to lose its novelty for me. At first, being clumsy and absent-minded was cute, maybe even charming. But now it is just plain annoying! And why, you might ask, have I been clumsy and absent-minded? Well, it is these little things called hormones. And they really are your friend, most of the time - they help you adjust and adapt to the world around you. And mine are super effective at their job!
But when they are off-balance, like they have not been eating their Wheaties in the morning, well - then - that is a completely different story.
They go haywire. They make me crazy! Moody, unfiltered (my own personal term for not having any tact and saying out loud that never-should-be-spoken, constant stream of thoughts in your head) and clumsy me has been amusing my friends but driving me nuts. Yes, I do realize how hilarious an off-kilter Delara is - it has made me giggle once or twice as well. But enough is enough!
So, I hereby declare things will be normal again. Then again, it is just my hormones talking.
Comments
there are even mechanisms in place to make them spurt out of my mouth faster than I can think about them. ack!

whoa. can i just make a comment about the collective consciousness? delara, remind me to share an essay i wrote about using my voice -- i totally remember saying something like the "unfiltered version of me" or "kari unfiltered" in it. whoa. i know exactly what you mean, when there's just nothing there to catch your words.
