Emotionally Charged

One of my favorite parts of my saturday morning routines is my skype date with my youngest sister Clare.  She usually has something smart-alecky to say or just tells me about her life in Bible school (which I listen to with great nostalgia).   Clare's not one to sugar coat something or make something sound pretty.  She usually tells me how it is, which I love about her.

So this morning as usual Clare messaged me and said she was ready to talk and I told her I have to quickly jump in the shower, cause I've been crying and I feel nasty.  Let's be honest who wants to have a conversation when they have a runny nose and puffy, red, blotchy eyes (those are the worst).

Anyway I was telling her about my week and how some things had really gotten me frustrated and ended up with me crying in my classroom while a friend awkwardly watched me from across the room, and then talking to my parents this morning and I started crying from feeling like the IRS was robbing me.  She started laughing at me and feeling quite shocked I asked, "what is so funny!"

Between laughs she asked me, "You have always been so emotionally charged Meg! One minute the world is so funny and the next you're crying."

Haha that is so true, not too long ago I actually made myself sick in a McDonald's bathroom from laughing too hard (fortunately this is not a common thing at all, but something must have been really funny, I honestly don't remember).

As we were reminiscing about funny times I have thought my world was crashing apart, it made me think about why God made me this way.  Why could God have possibly wanted me with my over-active tear ducts and a laugh that is way too loud?   I have no idea, but let's just say that I want to live my life to the fullest.  I'm not one to let a sad moment go by without a tear being shed or a joke pass me by without a burst of laughter.
