The world is drowning in "content." We don't need more of it. We need more art. We need more emotion. We need more statues and gargoyles atop grand and beautiful buildings. We need a haunted forest and stories that inspire us to see through the darkness. We need more mystery, creativity, and authenticity. We need more life.
"Control your emotions" doesn't mean "avoid your emotions." Feel your shit, understand your shit, but don't lose your shit. If you condition yourself to feel nothing, you set yourself up to have nothing: no love, no happiness, and no friends. Because you're a sociopathic asshole.
In all relationships, including the one we have with ourselves, it’s much better to face the truth (even if uncomfortable) than to engage in dishonesty.
Wanting something so badly that you ignore all signs of reality doesn't make you strong or hopeful — it puts you in a position that will someday be painful. If you refuse to see people or scenarios for what they really are, you're setting yourself up to be fucked really hard.
Time passes, chapters finish, and with that new roles are sometimes bestowed upon us. We may not be ready for them, they may be difficult and we may flat out resist. Take the time needed to reflect and get to the core of the “why”. Might just be what’s needed to turn the page.
