Emotions

or lack of them, rather.

Actually, not really. More like, filtered. I feel emotions kinda like I'm looking through a window, but feelings and not sights. The experience is not the best, but it's still there.

That was a really bad way of putting it.

It's more like I can feel most emotions, but others feel detached.

For example, today, my aunt's dog died. This dog was 15 years old and I had known this dog since I was a toddler, so I was pretty attached to it. But when my dad told me that he had died, I didn't feel sad.

Well, not in the conventional, crying, my-world-has-come-crashing-down-on-top-of-me way, at least. It was more like a black hole of the lack of sadness or grief. I just thought 'awh, that sucks'. 

That was it. Nothing else.

It angers me a bit how detached some of my emotions are sometimes.

On the other hand, I feel so much regret it's kinda ridiculous. It's at the point where I have trouble sleeping every night because of one stupid thing I said or did either today or seven years ago.

So basically:

I don't really feel sadness or grief, but I regret almost everything I did wrong in my life.

I can't remember the last time I actually cried. It was at least two years ago.

...

Yeah.



Death doesn't phase me. If someone said that I was going to die in a few days, I would either not be able to process it or not really care. I value my life, but I have accepted death to be inevitable. So if it happens, it happens.

Fear, however, is a completely different story. That not detached at all. I'm deathly afraid of the dark and the paranormal. I have to be completely under my duvet or I'm not sleeping at all. If I even lift a corner of my duvet to get some cooler air, my chest tightens and pulse goes up. It'll also randomly happen if I'm just sitting somewhere, wrapped up in a blanket.

It confuses me. 

It's probably my overactive imagination when it comes to fantasies about my fears and death. 

Okay, I'm done with that for now.

----TOPIC CHANGE---- 

I SAW JOHN BARROWMAN TODAY.

AT COMICON.

Well, it was more like I looked over at the autograph booths and caught a few glimpses of him. 

It was still pretty awesome.

While I was there I also got a bunch of Undertale prints. I got lesser dog, greater dog, and a couple more I can't remember.

AND THEN I GOT THE CUTEST STUFFED ANIMAL I HAVE EVER SEEN.

It's like a dinosaur and a whale combined.

I named it Aaron.

It's fabulous.
