I've realized I feel pretty unemotional compared to other people. Not always true, especially since I realize how I am and can focus on letting myself feel emotions. And certainly there are times when I get really emotional. I think the being less emotional is related to the fact that when I do different emotions, I feel overwhelmed and out of control. And then I wonder where the middle ground is.
Ian says, "I love you" and I think that he seems to FEEL love more than I do. This is less true when we're together in person. I think his feelings transfer over to me often enough. He said, "I love you" and I started thinking about The Giver and how they never say they love each other. They say they enjoy spending time with each other or other complimentary things but not "I love you." Yeah, sometimes I just feel kinda heartless. But I generally felt less like this in Cambridge. People were so loving! And I do think I'm less serious than I used to be.
I feel happiness easily enough when swimming in summer though. :)
