Emotion is something that can over-take us against our will. When it all comes down to it do we ever really fight the emotion that threatens to overwhelm us? Or do we just sit there pushing lightly against the door that holds us inside our minds?
I look around quite a few times a day and have gotten quite good at reading emotions for different people. I don't know how but it seems to be helpful when it comes to schooling.
I'll be on Facebook or MySpace and read the different things of couples that have just gotten together a week before that are my age and in some cases younger than me (14-17).
Half the time their status will be "I love him" or "I love you [insert name here]".
There's nothing wrong with this I mean come on, think about it. GREAT! They're in love! But what really makes me question the ranges of emotions is when they've been 'dating' for a week or maybe two.
How do we know what love is when there are so many variations of it?
Hate is such a strong word. How do we know when we hate? When we look at someone and immediately want to throw up or leave the room? But in many books isn't that glorified as a form of love? We love them so much we can hardly stand to be around them? We are so nervous we want to throw up?
So how can we really tell the difference between two of the strongest emotions on this planet when both of the descriptions can be glorified for the other? Can we stop it? Can we truly tell everything apart or are we subjected to be slaves of our emotions for our whole life?
People say think with your head not your heart. While others say think with your heart not your head.
But the only way we can think something with our head is if it passes through our emotions first and we can't act on what we decide with our heart without using our head to go through it.
I'm not against love. Being caught in a whirlwind of emotion myself at this moment. I am not against love and I am not against hate. I am just wondering if we ever get to know if we actaully love them.
I know I smile when I even think about talking to one certain person and I smirk when thinking about talking to my best friends. My stomach feels heavy when I think about talking to someone else. I feel nothing when talking to someone else.
We claim to know love... we claim to know hate... what if the only difference between the feelings of love and hate is that if we feel an emotion like love we smile and when we feel hate we grow angry or annoyed?

How was the rest?
You made it through
But nevertheless
I got you, out on a wire
You be love and I’ll be a liar" -- Lights and Sounds by Yellowcard
