Emotions.

Happy… Sad… Angry.

Confused.

What do you feel? How do you feel?

Do you feel?

Of
course you feel. Everyone feels. No matter how hardcore and emotionless you may think
you are, so long as you belong to the human race, darling, you’ve got emotions.
Whether you show them or not, is a whole different case entirely. Some people
can be totally broken inside but on the surface appear to be as jovial as Eddie
Murphy – it’s one of those mysteries of life I guess.

For anyone who has studied the brain before
(yes, a geeky moment is coming up – I am a medical student after all lol) you
would know that the brain is an intensely intricate organ. Every single of the
billions of synapses in the brain has a purpose – including the limbic system,
which is where the emotion center lies. If we did not need emotions why would a
whole system of the brain be dedicated to its management?

Don’t be embarrassed to feel. It’s normal.
It’s what makes you sane. So what if the way someone chews gum irks you? It
doesn’t make you a bad person; if nothing in this life ever aroused a response
from your limbic system would you really be living?
