• I can’t remember the last time that I’ve just cried. Some might say that that’s a good thing… I don’t. To be honest, I can barely remember – not counting the past couple of months – the last time that I have felt emotion at all. I have conditioned myself to feel no pain; the problem with this is that I (obviously) can no longer feel pain… or anything else. I always advise people not to put their emotions in a bottle. They always build up, and if shaken, like a carbonated beverage, will explode (which ironically causes an implosion in the mind of the possessor). I have tried to pour these passions out, but instead I have simply ignored that they exist. I have buried them. I am a hypocrite. The only way to pour out your emotions is to express them, and express them properly by dealing with them. Dwelling on things doesn’t make them disappear. This becomes problematic, though, when you lose the ability to feel and express emotion. Reason only goes so far. One must express passion. One must experience, in some way, catharsis. How does one regain the ability to feel? My guess is that one must reconnect to society. Befriend someone. Talk with a sibling or parent. Confide in someone; anyone. Love. No man is an island, no matter how much one deludes him or herself.
