Daily Prompt | Up and down

in CCC3 days ago

Her life had so many ups and downs that one could easily draw an analogy with a Roller Coaster. One day she could be happy as a lark over something as simple as a good book, and the next, devastated by the death of dolphins in the Japanese coves.

It is true that life is not a straight and steady line, but going up and down, back and forth, is quite unstable. I would even say maddening. How can anyone live with such abrupt changes?

And we are not only talking about moods. Where this tendency for dramatic change is most evident is in her résumé. At just 35 years old, she has had more than ten different jobs.

She went from performing mechanical tasks as a cashier to managing a fast-food restaurant, or teaching at a small private university.

And as for boyfriends, let’s not even mention it. I don’t know if the word applies to relationships lasting only a couple of days. Anyway… I gave up long ago on trying to analyze her. Now I am content with simply trying to understand her. Not everyone can follow the script that society dictates.

Su vida tenía tantos altibajos que bien podría hacerse una analogía comparándola con una Montaña Rusa. Un día podía estar feliz como una lombriz por cosas tan simples como una buena lectura y al día siguiente estar desolada por la muerte de delfines en las caletas japonesas.

Es cierto que la vida no es una línea recta y estable, pero ir de arriba abajo y de aquí para allá es bastante inestable. Incluso diría enloquecedor. ¿Cómo alguien puede vivir con tantos cambios bruscos.?

Y no hablamos solo de estados de ánimo. En lo que más se nota esa tendencia de cambio dramático es en su Hoja de Vida. Teniendo apenas 35 años ha tenido más de 10 trabajos distintos.

Pasó de realizar tareas mecánicas como las de cajera a dirigir un restaurante de comida rápida, o a enseñar en una pequeña universidad privada.

Y en cuánto a novios ni hablar. No sé si se puede aplicar esa palabra a relaciones de un par de días. En fin... Hace tiempo me he rendido ante la idea de analizarla. Ahora me basta con tratar de comprenderla. No todas las personas pueden seguir el guión que la sociedad dicta.

If we meet someone we never know where it ends. No matter how hard you try it's not said the partner does too. Being dumped can happen to anyone and if it comes to jobs why not try out everything? Why not improve skills? Only by trying you find your truth selfm unfortunately I never had that chance.
Being understood is all that counts.
Life is a rollercoaster for sure. Personally I am more down than up.
I liked reading you. Steem on!

Thank you very much, you are very kind. Personally I feel that people borned before 80 or 70 had have the best etapa for being up, in that time if you worked and study hard you could reach your goals.

Now we are down, at least the most of the people, but anyway life is composed for up and down moments. So we only can enjoy when we are up and learn when we are down.

I hope you will have more up moments! Have a great week!
