While I wouldn't say I was a moody person, that isn't to say I can't sulk and chuck the wobbly of all wobblies on occasion. I like to think it's normal, as it's unrealistic for people to be chirpy all of the time and, sometimes, a really stinking mood can get you back on track. Everything feels better the day after a moody day… because it is.
Being in the public eye is a nightmare for having an off day. How many times have you heard stories of how moody a celebrity was when someone encountered them in real life? Famous people, like all people, have bad days. It has nothing to do with what they do for a living, or because they are different in any way, it's because they are human beings who live their lives. I remember seeing a Tweet where someone said they once saw my husband and I together and we looked like we were in terrible moods and really miserable together. She said that this made her 'really happy'. I looked at that Tweet for ages, because it floored me. To see a couple having a bad day, and for that to make you feel 'really happy'? Christ, how much of a bad mood do you have to be in to think that?
She was probably right. We most likely were in massive moods and having an argument or something. That happens; we're married. But it really made me think about the judgements I make about other people who are in moods or having a bad day. I'm terrible for judging people, and it's hypocritical, because I don't like being judged for it myself.
