Catching My Flights of In-Between Feelings

Today, I took the chance to take a selfie and capture the feelings of my day. Yesterday was terrible—a whirlwind of emotions that left me catching my flights of in-between feelings. As I reflect on it now, I realize how important it is to write this feeling down in my journal or share it with others who might relate and resonate with my experience.

This caption, "Catching my flights of in-between feelings," holds a poetic and metaphorical weight that perfectly encapsulates my emotional state. It speaks of transition, uncertainty, and the delicate balance of processing one’s emotions.

Catching My Flights
The act of "catching" suggests intention—actively noticing and engaging with my emotional landscape. These "flights" are more than transitions; they are the vessels carrying me from one emotional state to another. Flights symbolize movement, exploration, and even escape. Just as a traveler navigates airports and layovers, I find myself navigating moments of joy, pain, doubt, and hope.

Of In-Between Feelings
The "in-between feelings" are the heart of this metaphor. They represent those moments when emotions resist definition, blending into one another like shades on a canvas. It’s the space where sadness intertwines with longing, where hope fights to emerge from despair. These are not solid destinations but transient states—fleeting yet profound.

Yesterday’s terrible day was full of these in-between feelings—moments when I didn’t know whether to feel defeated or determined, to cry or laugh at the absurdity of it all. But today, I choose to acknowledge them, to name them, and to embrace them.

A Selfie as a Moment of Reflection
The selfie I took is more than just an image; it’s a visual marker of this emotional journey. It holds within it the vulnerability of yesterday and the resilience of today. Through this caption, I am not just capturing a photograph but also the essence of what it means to sit with discomfort and uncertainty.

In sharing this, I hope others might find solace or connection. We all have days like these—when our feelings seem too big to handle or too abstract to name. And yet, in the act of naming them, journaling about them, or sharing them with others, we take a step closer to understanding ourselves.

Catching my flights of in-between feelings reminds me that emotions, like flights, are transient. They are a passage, not a destination. Yesterday may have been terrible, but today, I am choosing to carry my in-between feelings with grace and curiosity.
