The Thing About Hard Feelings

Emotions are a thing…

Emotions are hard… and yet their soft…
The hardest soft thing and the realest invisible thing…

Everybody is going through something because everyone has feelings…

Perspective is important… but just as you should really realize how fortunate you are compared to many in the world… you should also realize how important it is to really sit down and grapple with your emotions.

You can't ignore your feelings.

No matter how ‘tough’ or how ‘busy’ or how ‘zen’ you think you are… your emotions own you.

And they will dictate and push us into being reactive unless/until we actually push back to make them proactive.

I was up for 30 or so hours… impassioned both by distress and inspiration…

I was inspired enough to code through the night, despite the limited scope.

I was distressed enough to walk 3 miles, despite the irresolute result.

I dont know how to handle my emotions all too well, yet. But I know that I should, and thus will, do things that I can look back on and rest easy that I did what I thought was best. I can look back and be glad that I went the extra mile even for the smallest of gains.

Because that’s just who I am:

Mercurial, sensitive, driven, inspired, and always ready to do something because it feels right, no matter how hard or how much all the effort does not seem to add up to the result.

Feelings are hard… but we wouldn't be living life if we’re too scared of having hard feelings…
