"I can be brash and bold and say what’s on my mind and be spontaneous, upright, and unintentionally take over things when it is not my place to do so. I can also be silent, a careful observer, thinking hard about what I am going to say or write before it comes out, watching, waiting, and calculating." I can see myself in those two sides. It bothers me how I could be heartless and lazy to care about what others say about me, but sometimes, in the middle of the night, I would be up all night thinking about it.
I suppose it's just normal. Humans are born with feelings, and so we feel things. But humans were not obliged to feel things very deeply, yet that's what we do. We feel things, that don't make sense, things that don't really matter, by heart so deeply that it cuts through it.
Should we just feel things lightly? I think we should know what things to take seriously and things that should not stay in our minds.
I totally agree, when I was writing this it was almost a moment of cognitive dissonance. As humans, I love that we feel things deeply, especially in the messy chaos of life. Thank you for reading!
