Emo

[azurelunatic]

Why do some people focus on the nasty depressing emotions and blow off the good ones? Huh?

...If someone answers that to everyone's satisfaction, and suggests a fix for it, they will probably have accomplished what untold generations of philosophical/spiritual leaders have been trying to accomplish.

Now that it is in my conscious attention....

[dagny57.livejournal.com]

Good point. my journal usually focuses on my emotional ravaging, but I very rarely mention the joy of chasing my son around the house and rocking him to sleep. Or the fact that I made the deans list for the spring semster. Or that I have family/friends all over the country who love me. I don't even mention the joy in my spirituality, which is something very blissful indeed. Not very balanced. Must work on that. In fact, I think I'll save this as post in my journal to remind me.

I make a point of putting the happy little things into my journal: the cute things that Nephew says and does, the general happiness around the place.

It rather balances my relationship dramas nicely.
