Feelings

Feelings are hard to talk about.

It isn't that I'm not in touch with my feelings, I know exactly where they are at all times (in a big bottle under my bed). The problem with talking about feelings is they're difficult to articulate to someone who isn't you. No matter how well I can explain them, I never am satisfied that my audience is fully grasping what I'm talking about.

It's like trying to describe how something smells by drawing a picture. There's a lot lost in the translation.

So more often than not, when I try opening up about something, I go away with a pang of sadness that I wasn't able to verbalize what I wanted to. That's rather frustrating, to say the least.

That's all I have to say about that.
