I had learned from a young age that emotions were taboo. Showing them would mean consequences. And talking meant emotions, which lead to bad things.
I'd always wonder what it felt like to be angry, sad, or happy. What if the only way to feel something is to feel nothing at all?
I would stay up at night wondering what would happen if I wasn't here. And I know that the world would be better off without me... But why am I still here?
That's because I want to know what it's like to feel something. But... whether I like it or not I am feeling something.
I am suffering.
And maybe, just maybe, the way to end the suffering is to feel something at all. Or maybe....
To stop myself from suffering at all, to stop feelings from happening. Because I'm scared.
Because maybe feelings means... more suffering.
And as always...
