Feelings
Are an interesting concept. I guess if you get down to it, feelings are really just a balance hormones, but that doesn't sound fun, does it? Happiness = elevated levels of certain hormones in the brain. So what does it mean to really feel?
*I can't remember the last time I felt*
A relative of mine passed away from a heart attack the other day. I'd only met him a couple times in my life. I want to feel sad, or bad, or something, but truth is, I don't really feel anything. Does that make me a terrible person? To be perfectly honest, I think the only reason I want to feel sad is because that's what I'm supposed to do, but he was almost a complete stranger to me. My mom's making this big deal about it since he was one of my few relations that live on this side of the ocean, but sometimes, I wish people would just stop playing the roles society wrote for us. I know that would probably make the world a miserable place, but at least feeling terrible is feeling something real.
It kinda sucks when reality doesn't live up to imagination.
