I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the beer. Maybe it's that I'm tired. There's something about sitting in front of my computer listening to beautifully bittersweet music that brings me to bittersweat tears. Not tears of pure depression. Not tears of happiness and hope of a new beginning. Just tears of "this sucks" and "life could be worse." Dunno if that makes sense. Probably doesn't. In my head it rattles around a bit and comes out as something I can comprehend. I feel like I'll never get over this. I'm sure I will. I know I will because the human brain tends to desensitive itself and disassociate itself from something after an absence of it for an extended period of time. But that feels too clinical. Emotions aren't clinical. Emotions flow through your body and mind. I don't care about clinical. I don't care if feelings are just your brain playing off what it's become used to. There's something more to it. People believe I should make a clean break. I probably should. But that's clinical. Fuck clinical. Even if it hurts, I'd rather feel. I'm not masochistic, but I'll take the joy with the risk of pain. I'll take the smiles for the tears. I guess I figure, if not, what's the fucking point? Why live in fear of what could be? Why not enjoy what you can? Yeah, pain sucks, but for me, the joy outweighs it. It means more than the pain. Meh, I'll probably delete this tomorrow since I wrote this after 7 beers at 4am. Such is life.

7 is a good number when it comes to beer. I'm a big fan of prime numbers though.

Well, I ended up making it to 9, so I ruined everything. Sorry, hehe.

I understand what you're saying. And for the umpteenth time I'll say "I wish I could fix it." But really, you're right. Life is a measure of how much pain we're willing to take for the joy that we get out of it.

as humans we are equipped with the ability to feel emotions for a reason. if we were not meant to feel sadness, anger, joy etc...we wouldn't have the ability. i say, go with your emotions, feel what you feel, and ride it out. no one can tell you to just make a clean break, it's not that simple. just try to keep a handle on perspective, because emotion is powerful, and if you are not careful, it can swallow you up. take care of yourself.
