Emotion: Love

“Human emotions are intriguing, though I can’t really say I fully understand them,” she said

“I can’t understand them either. They rule our lives and we have no idea why they make us feel certain feelings,” they said

“but life without emotions wouldn’t be worth living, right? I think, as humans, it is virtually impossible to live without emotions. Altering a mind in order to feel smoothed-out or simply to avoid life’s dilemas,” they continued

“What if I had lost the art of feeling because I was so frightened of being hurt, so it just seemed more sensible to turn that stuff off?” she asked

“I often imagine how much easier my life would be if I didn’t have any feelings. I wouldn’t get upset each time someone ignore me; I wouldn’t get so angry when things weren’t going well; I wouldn’t lose sleep worrying about my future plan; I would be able to express myself without being fear of judgement; All my decisions would be based on logic and all my actions would be in accordance with a well-crafted plan,” she said

“Please don’t live like that. It takes the wonder of the world away, and living with no emotions means that you can’t experience the real joy of the world. Emotions allow us to taste every experience in life. It’s good to be sad, to be happy, to be in love, to be hurt, to be angry… to be lonely. This means you can feel that something is wrong and deal with it, or you can feel that something is right and get more of it,” they answered

“You know, emotions might lead to negative results. Maybe, being a cold, logical being with no emotions holding myself back from mistakes was the epitome of success. Life without emotions would be easier,” she stated

“Yeah, but as much as I want to imagine that life without emotions would be easier, the truth is that emotions are who we are and by knowing how to read them, control them, we can certainly make our lives better,” they said

She doesn’t want to feel anything anymore.

Every war makes her break into pieces, yet she hopes for a happy ending,

just like everyone.

She wanted to rip her heart out,

but what if her heart is scattered all over the place?

Now, she is standing on the edge of a cliff, doesn’t know what to do—either falling to the ground or just walking away.

She is seeking for an answer, but doesn’t know when will the answer come.

And one question she wanted to ask for a long time,

“Did you ever love me for real?”

Because it didn’t seem so.

And all she wants to hear is the love you have for her.
