And thus ends another chapter of my life.
Today I finished the last page of one of the shortest, but most compelling chapters of my life to date....
Feelings. Feelings are one of the most difficult things in this world to truly comprehend. It is not so much the feelings themselves that provide the challenge, but more specifically it is the depiction of those feelings from one person to another. We often cluster these feelings into very broad and vague categories, such as "happiness", "sorrow", "excitement", and "anger", but these do not truly provide justice to the emotion that is experienced.
While these shells allow for a certain bridge of best-fit that provides each of us with a general understanding of what a person might be going through, it would be misguided to believe that we each view these emotions in the same light. I think that each of you interpret your happiness in a very different manner than I perceive my happiness. While we both might describe our experience as a "happy one", I do not believe that this accurately represents our respective emotions.
I am finding that my thoughts at this moment are just as difficult to describe as my feelings...
Please pray that I figure things out in the weeks to come.
