Out of place

What is an emotion that you are not comfortable with?

I really dislike myself when feelings of jealousy creep in. Jealously is so…not nice. If there was one emotion I could scrap forever it would be jealousy.

This has nothing to do with jealousy but when I was a kid there was a certain time/day/moment when I felt really uncomfortable and I’m not sure I’ll ever know why.

It was on Sunday mornings when we got home from church. Maybe the feeling could best be described as anxiety? Although, again, I have no idea why.

When we’d get home from church, I recall toast crumbs on the counter. Feeling cold. Being hungry (was never a breakfast person as a kid). And absolutely hating the feeling of cheap, never-stay-in-place pantyhose which I changed out of immediately.

Every Sunday if we went to church, I’d get that feeling when we got home. It felt like, what do I do now? Like what happens next? Out of place.

  2. I feel lucky that I don’t feel much jealousy, especially around some of the things that typically make people jealous. But when I *do* feel jealous, ugh. I’m with you: if I could do without one emotion, it would be jealousy.

  4. Maybe your church had a fire-and-brimstone preacher. That would cause any kid anxiety!
