What is your Favorite Emotion?

[Edwardo Piet]

You are a truly beautiful person Losty. What a fantastically emotional post on emotions.

I like allowing myself to be completely crushed with sadness, especially because it makes the sadness last a much shorter period of time when you let yourself feel it.

Very true, never thought of it that way before neither

I always refer to that time as when I didn't exist. If you've ever felt such a complete lack of emotion...it's kind of awful.

And believeeeeeee me, I know what that feels like. Or rather, I know what it feels like to feel nothing but a lack and a starvation of emotion, and to be consumed by the loathing of my own inability to feel anything else -- far worse than any despair or desperation I've felt, it's living hell.

And now, to end on a positive note, that's the direct opposite of this:

Obviously love. Love is a blissful feeling. I don't think it can be so simple as to be called an emotion though, love tends to come with a healthy dose of every emotion.

It's expansive. It's inspiring. It's empowering. It's enhancing. It indeed is healthy and it opens you up. It's life-affirming. It's wonderful and it's beautiful.
