Some days you feel really really small. Like you just want to creep up into a big, big couch and hide behind a pillow for a while.
Its funny cause those days no matter how "grown up" you get, you feel like a kid who's five years old that came home after just loosing your teddybear or dropping your icecream on the ground. Your lower lip is like twice the usual size and the eyes are like two thin lines.
According to one of the theories within modern psychology called transactional analysis we all have three ego's more or less dominant within ourselves:
The Parent
The Child
The Adult
The parent is our taught concept of life, the child is our felt concept of life and the adult is the thought. When we are communicating with each other we are doing so from one of our alter ego's and the way we communicate can trigger different behaviours in our counterpart. In the same we chose which ego is to respond and in which way.
The best thing about having one of those days is when you are surrounded by people who just let you be small - and after sitting behind that pillow for a while and after receiving that big hug, you feel like playing again.
Just one of those days :)
