Limbo

limbo /ˈlɪmboʊ/ [lim-boh]

–noun, plural -bos.

1. (often initial capital letter) Roman Catholic Theology. a region on the border of hell or heaven, serving as the abode after death of unbaptized infants (limbo of infants) and of the righteous who died before the coming of Christ (limbo of the fathers or limbo of the patriarchs).

2. a place or state of oblivion to which persons or things are regarded as being relegated when cast aside, forgotten, past, or out of date: My youthful hopes are in the limbo of lost dreams.

3. an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place

4. a place or state of imprisonment or confinement



Let’s concentrate on definition number three. Yup. That’s where I am right now. The saying “this too shall pass” has been my mantra for the past couple of days and honestly it’s already killing me. This is applicable on a lot of areas in my life right now.

It frustrates me like anything and there are times I just chose to be apathetic – the thing is….that’s not me. I’d always been the type to be both reactive and proactive on different situations. Now I just find myself just shaking my head and walking away.


I’d want to believe that this is just a phase. I’ve been stuck in limbo for quite some time now. It sucks big time when you can’t even decide what you want to do or where you want to go. Please let it be a phase, I’d just want this feeling to go away.
