Despair

Last night I had to run to the pharmacy to get Hubbins' regular prescriptions. While I was there, I browsed around and came across a display of various mood rings.

I thought, what the hell? and I slipped one on my pinky. I was sure it was going to turn royal blue like most  mood rings do because of body heat. Instead it turned a teal-ish, turquoise, orange rusty color.  I chuckled because really, I hadn't noticed the 16 color chart and was under the assumption there were only like 4 or 5 colors to it. I was thinking I picked a broken ring or I was a freakish person who creates my own mood colors.

So, yeah there were many colors on the definition chart, I was almost to the end when I actually found my color. I glanced down to the word under it and was a little shocked, a little peeved and a lot sad when I read it.

Despair.

A freakin' mood ring hit it on the head. I've been feeling that way lately. I didn't think I was feeling like that at the time, but definitely on and off throughout the day I was feeling it.

With an anger, like someone had discovered my little secret or something, I shoved the damn ring back into the display box.

But obviously since this is making it as a post, that $2 ring is still haunting me. Will the feelings of despair ever go away?
