I truly believe that life comes in waves and those who are around you experience similar struggles and joys for a reason. Part of it is because when you genuinely care for someone you empathize with them. When a person carries their love for you in their heart and vise versa there's a strange connection that is formed. When you're hurting they feel your hurt and when they're hurting you feel theirs. Emotions are such a powerful aspect in our lives, but they're also the most confusing. There's such a vast range of emotions that can be felt. I believe that I have felt emotions on every end of the spectrum. Pure joy and utter sadness. Both are essential. Both are powerful. Both are worth it.
But what happens when you feel both of them at the same time?
When you feel extreme emotions you reach a point where you end up saying...
Have you seen (insert your name)?? I can't seem to find him/her (depending on your gender... if you're not sure of that... just say IT or THEM... THEM is, of course, if you think you might be more than one person because you feel like you're that far gone).
A friend of mine just said that to me and it got me thinking... Emotions are what force us to figure ourselves out. If we constantly ignore our emotions then how are we ever going to find ourselves? And WHEN do we reach that point where we don't understand ourselves and we have to start making ourselves define ourselves?
Yeah it's a cliche thought... "Emily I'm not up for your psycho babble right now."
But think about it... consider it... dwell on it... Search for silence.
No matter where your heart is... whether someone carried it to India with them, Alaska, or South Africa, or if it's in Orange County or San Diego... My heart is split all over the world... I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for taking my heart with you. Thank you for speaking to it and making it question itself. Thank you for comforting it. Thank you for loving it.
You don't know what you're doing to me. How you are influencing me on your adventures.
Thank you.

You have a piece of my heart... growing slowly... even though I barely saw you, spoke with you, hugged you. Your thoughts and humor and little brilliant quirks and big crooked little heart help me... help make me grow, sing, write, play, laugh, dance.
I love that we are in the same family. Sisters yeah?
All my love,
Megg

I remember this...I love you
