even though life feels extra hard sometimes it is amazing how many WONDERFUL things i am able to experience. last night i was feeling especially lonely and i told my mom, "i wish i just didn't feel so much." because in my naive mind not feeling would mean that i wouldn't be hurting. but i realized today that without the difficult and sad feelings we wouldn't be able to experience the beautiful and extraordinary feelings. so i suppose today i am HAPPY that i get to experience life and FEEL deeply because ultimately we can't experience true happiness unless we first have experienced true sadness. i may hurt deeply at times but really that just means i can love just as deeply. and without love what have we got?
