Limbo

Posted on April 5, 2013 Written by Tonya

I’m in that place.

That place between here and there.

That place where tension headaches live day after day.

That place that leaves you tossing and turning night after night. 

That place where the thoughts in your head are way louder than they should ever be.

I’m stuck in a state of being lost and confused, anxious and disconnected.

That place where smiles are few and far between.

That place where you function as if on autopilot, just drifting through your life.

That place where there are too many unknowns and uncertainties, unsure whether I’m coming or going, unsettled.

It’s as though I’m living half a life with one foot firmly planted in joy and hope for a bright full future and one cemented in chaos, tough decisions, worry and tears. I’m split right down the middle and quartered into sections.

That place? It’s not a good place.

Limbo sucks.

    I’m stuck in that place too at the moment, but not for the same reasons. I hope you get out of it soon, because there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m sure your decision will be the right one! Hang in there!!! Sending you lots of smiles and love XOXOXO

    you are ALWAYS in my thoughts, friend. Praying for a quick trip out of Limbo Land and into a more comfortable, “normal” soon.

    You’ve got a really great reason to fight your way out to the bright side and I’m confident you’ll get there 🙂 Thinking about you.

    I hate to say it, but it sounds like you actually need to limbo – like, get drunk on margaritas and dance under a bar without letting your back hit the ground.

    Though I’d hurt myself if I tried that. But it would be funny to watch, from a purely “physical comedy” stand point. And you can’t really be in limbo if you’re laughing, right?

    I’ve been in this place and it’s not good. I hope you get out of it soon.
