I wouldn't truly consider emotionally stable to be a pro.

[plznocameras]

Stability doesn't hurt.

[clean_lined]

I'm not sure anyone can be stable all the time. It seems like the sort of thing that might have a cost to it, really. And costs can hurt, quite terribly.

[plznocameras]

Everything does and everything can, but it seems hard to be a whole person if there's no you that gives your emotions some sense. But I suppose that assumes that instability implies that and I guess I'm willing to assume that.

[clean_lined]

Perhaps instability is harder to understand, but that doesn't make it impossible. Stable the way that most people think of it would have us all constantly pleasant and smiling.

[plznocameras]

But that's wrong. Stability is consistency and sense, but it never works because at their heart all emotions are irrational, that's why they're emotions. So I suppose I don't actually know what stability is, and neither does anyone else, and all I have is the lack thereof and I'm not sure I like it.

[clean_lined]

If you don't know what stability is, then why fear the lack of it? Better to trust in what you do know, even if it is irrational and unstable.

[plznocameras]

That's how terrible things happen, people don't look further than what they do know. Then again, we can only contribute what we do know, otherwise we're just full of shit.

Trust should be the foundation, not the walls.

[She pulls a face.]

Trust is only a foundation if it was deserved in the first place, and that's not often.

[clean_lined]

Trust in what you know. [She shakes her head a little, fondly.] I can't keep up with your thought lines sometimes. I'm too old.

[plznocameras]

You can't keep up because I ramble blindly about the stupid things that go on inside my head, they're fully irrational and senseless, often with a nice side of unbridled hypocrisy.

[clean_lined]

Rationality and sense are overrated. Which I think was my point about stability, if I can manage to work my way back there.

[Sulky, but appeased.]

You can't I won't let you.

[clean_lined]

Tsk. So demanding.

[plznocameras]

I've not made any demands all day. I've behaved admirably well.
