The Painted Veil

I love these beautiful period movies but most of the time they make me feel so down afterwards.

Words that express feeling

After reading the most recent post from Adam's blog (AKA Owl City), I feel so bad for being in a bad mood lately. You know when someone expresses something so well that you don't have to even experience it in the past to feel what that person or thing is expressing? OK, sorry, that was a mouthful.

What I mean is like when you listen to a good song, ok? Lyrics or not, if the artist is talented enough, they can create a connection with you and make you feel those emotions even if you've never done so in your life yet.

So the man behind Owl City happens to be very good with words and the subject was about saying good-bye to a loved one. Those sad good-byes that we all face at some point in a relationship. And he was so heartfelt and touching about it that GAAAH it just tugged at my heart and so I feel like a brat now for being all grumpy. Like, I could be dealing with more difficult things in life and yet I'm all actin' apathetic just because life is getting more demanding.

:(

Bloggers are fun!

And I only found out today that Adam Young from Owl City had his own blog-- and don't go thinkin' it's one of those NEWS blogs. He actually WRITES and it is one of the most quirky and adorable and inspiring and amusing little blog I have had the pleasure to read in a while.

Of course, it helps that I was already a fan of his music-- but nonetheless! He's even more adorable in his musings. D8 Darn him, he is so cute.

But seriously, the dude can write. I wish I was so good with fancy words and all. You know how people can write so well that it just makes sense? It just clicks with you? Well, that's how he comes across to me in his blog.

Sorry for sounding like such a fangirl. It just came out.

Casey you are damn SEXY.

Emotions

OK, so I've taken almost another month to post something again. I'm not going to really apologize -- I just either don't feel like delving into my own feelings and little problems that life is throwing at me OR I am too lazy to write about mundane things.

Even so, I feel like I have neglected this blog which still holds a sentimental place in my heart. Wow, what a thing to say about a blog-- a tiny space of the internet that populates my nonsensical ramblings.

I get short bursts of urges to blog when I'm sad mostly. At that moment, I am feeling a strong emotion that I want to express in words, but I am also too sad or embarrassed to express it.

Everybody cries. But for what felt like the longest time, I was bewildered by my own tears. It's easier to understand yourself when you cry for a particular reason, but once in a while I get the urge to cry for no reason at all. Sometimes it's just seconds, and sometimes I spend several moments. Sometimes the emotion is quick to disappear, but now and then it feels like several emotions consume me at once and they lead me to crying.

It's not like I'm actually depressed -- but nonetheless I felt for a while that I was a weirdo for getting these strange sparks of strong emotions out of the blue. Thankfully I had a talk with my dad a couple days ago about this and he was nice enough to reassure me that it isn't unusual to have these moments when growing up. He said that we are here to feel these emotions.

I thought these moments only tend to last till the end of puberty, but I guess I was wrong!

Do you ever have these moments?
