One of the songs on the radio, reminded me of my younger days. I feel emotional about the way I felt about things back then. And even at my age of almost 40 now, I still have that tendency of becoming emotional on certain things that matter to me.
I get emotional because I care. I care about people, work, myself, etc. When I put my heart somewhere or give part of it to someone and something not so great happens to that person or thing, I will get emotional because it affects me. Even though I’m not usually unable to see this when I am emotional, but for me being emotional is normal and is good because I care so much about a lot of people and a lot of things. Those emotions or that hurt is what gives people empathy. So I know that the emotions hurt and are draining, but on the grand scheme of things, it’s good that we feel because it means we care.
And with people who care comes empathy.
And empathy is so important in the world because without emotions and empathy, the world would be so much worse of a place.
Back then I showed my emotional side in the form of strong hardcore metal songs as I did not want to be seen as a weakling. As I grow older and perhaps wiser, I choose to be silent about it or talk to my better half and leave it all to The Almighty.
