Keeping the Balance

Do you remember those times when things suck big time and yet you are expected to be mature, wise, strong and level-headed?

Remember those times when for days or weeks you put logic forward and emotion on hold, until suddenly you have this headache that keeps you awake all night?

Well, such headache requires a cure.
Not drugs (don't be stupid!).
Not smoking (nasty habit!).
Not sex (not for this kind of headache at least).
Not alcohol (though red wine or champagne would be nice).

See, this headache comes from being all mature and wise and strong and level-headed, from putting logic forward and from putting your emotion on hold. So, all you need to do is let go. Just be silly. Be weak. Cry like a little girl. A good cry. That's what you need.

Some people call it nervous breakdown.
I call it keeping the balance.
