The Beauty of Emotions

Having the desire to experience deep emotions is what life is all about, I believe. Having existed in a dream world for all of my life before spelling, I am something of an expert on this. The world I created in my mind was a bubble of protection, I think, to allow me to escape the agony of my voiceless existence. But the downside of that is that I felt next-to-nothing. 

When I woke up to this real world, the thing I noticed most was the variety of emotions I’d missed out on. Emotions like anger and amusement were new to me. Real calmness was also new, as was excitement. And perhaps most significant of all, happiness became my most typical emotion. 

I am living now, whereas before, I was merely existing. I am the prime example of that. That is why when I experience negative emotions, I also feel gratitude. Seeing the world through these now-open eyes is the most beautiful thing on earth.
