Tunes in my head: The Curtain With by Phish
Books of a page: On The Road by Seamus Heaney
Atmosphere: Short of breath
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along
Chanting words from a song
"Please, me, have no regrets."
Came from the baby's mouth
We followed the lines going south
We feel too much sometimes, I think. We feel all of these emotions, all of these mixed feelings and don't truly understand the mechanisms behind ourselves. We don't understand what make the neurons in our brain fire the way they do, leading to an emotional response.
If you'll excuse me for a brief moment, I'm going to talk about myself.
As a person, I'm an extremely emotional person. I see people in situations and then go through something similar. It seems that when I go through them, I feel the pain, the pleasure more than others do. Is that a result of ego or just of my perception of things? When I was in love, I was the person who showed it. Not just in what I did, but what I said, how I treated the other person. It seemed very intense. When I hate, it's with such a fiery passion that it's almost impossible to cool me down from it. Once I get psyched up about something, it's very hard to pull me away. Once I become apathetic and give it, I cannot be motivated. Jealousy for me is an interesting emotion. I feel jealousy quite powerfully, and I'm not afraid to admit this. I can be an extremely jealous bastard sometimes, even when it doesn't concern me. When someone has the ideals, the thing that I want (compassion) in front of them, then I fight them for it. And it sucks. But it's as if something takes me over when I do so. When I become very emotionally driven, it's like the driver in my head takes me over and runs me without any thought.
There are four kinds of people. Or, perhaps better to say, there are four characteristics that people tend to lean towards. The emotional, the analytical, the extroverted and the introverted. Look at your friend circles. Look at how people could be classified into those categories. It's amazing how we complement each other with our combinations of those characteristics.
So why am I intensely emotional? I don't know. Perhaps it has to do with upbringing. But what can I do about it? Nothing, really. It is me. To change it would be to change the essence of myself.
And nobody wants that.
So why do we emote? Why do we cry, do we laugh, do we feel?

Well... it's hard to tell how emotional someone is. Like, how can you honestly say that your emotions are any stronger than anyone elses? You dont know that =\ But, you can say some people are more emotionally driven, or choose to act more on their emotions during intense moments of their lives.
With that said, you can't put introversion and extroversion in the same category as emotionally driven and analytically driven. They're completely different! It's a seperate category, in my opinion.
