spectrum_of_emotions blown cherry Basic examples: Happy, sad, angry, fear etc Complex: Rage, jealousy, melancholia, nothingness, pain, elation, awe etc Beyond: Whatever it is I'm experiencing now A dash of nothingness, a few grams of melancholia (sporadically), a dash, no, ok, a dollop, of anger, sometimes developing to full blown rage. But these are only the toppings. What makes up this particular dish is not precisely known to me. I do not know where I am going, but I go there with ease and wilingness. What is the point of living and never exploring the utmost reaches of your emotional capabilities. Man is always striving to conquer the unknown; mountains, the sea, space. But what good are those things if we cannot expand ourselves from within? A plateau of mental and emotional evolution? How sickening. I want to know what I can be, know what I can feel. Find out how deep my blood runs. You think I will be destroyed? You have no idea.... 020331 ... magenta on my lens you think you're evolving? you're stagnating. you openly profess to desire the wish to spead evil negativity 020408 ... blown cherry But only when I'm blown cherry in a bad mood.

The writer can only write what the audience wants to see. Anything esle is reinterpereted to fit into this. 020408 ... monkey what is true of written words is also true of people... everything others see in you is through their own filters... i'd say in life and in writting do it for yourself, if they don't understand they don't understand.... just remember to be gentle with others emotions because you might not be seeing them clearly either 020430 ... blown cherry thanks monkey I think we said a few weeks ago that we quite openly don't understand eachother, but sometimes I think we do more than either of us will admit. Being gentle with others emotions can be a very difficult task at times. Especially when it seems the choices are trample someone else, or be smothered.
