Emotions

It has all been quite a blur to me how someone can actually change from being thankful that they’ve been given the gift of life for one minute and not want to be on the face of the Earth the next. Don’t you think it’s so unfair how sometimes you just can’t help it when your emotions start playing up and you sometimes feel as though there is no meaning to life? I’m not sure if everyone has felt this way before but I have and it’s definitely one of the worst feelings I have ever experienced in my 18 years of life (hah, since last week if you didn’t notice). I don’t remember who I heard this from but it probably holds a lot of truth and I thought I’d share it with you guys. He/She said something like “ When you look at someone, he/she may look happy and contented but how do you know he/she doesn’t cry him/herself to sleep? ‘’. Try to think of one person that looks really happy all the time and ask yourself if you really do know if it’s genuine happiness or just him/her being in the moment. Like I said, who can really tell something’s bothering him unless he/her shows it physically with that frown on his/her face or sighs every now and then. Who knows? I guess human emotions are created in such a way that they’re meant to vary every so often just to make you appreciate the times when you are happy and to look back at the happy times when you’re not. Stop me if you think I’m wrong here. I mean, like I said earlier, even the most optimistic person would have his bad day and feel as though whatever ‘problems’ whether real or imaginary ones created out of insecurity would all of a sudden appear out of nowhere and he’d feel as though there were bricks laid onto his chest. I guess what makes optimists different from the pessimists is how long it takes for them to get back to their happy self and stay that way longer. The worst thing about all these feelings and emotions is that it always has a way of biting you in the ass with the ‘’perfect’’ timings. To look at all these emotions through a negative perspective was definitely unfair but it’s these emotions that make the good ones seem like the best thing in the world. So if you think that life’s been tough on you, always remember that everything happens for a reason and the reason, it’s definitely a good one.
