What if the way I feel is wrong? What if everything is too strong — or alternatively, too weak? I feel too much of everything I think. I hope. I never want to not feel. Sometimes there are days when I don’t feel much. But even on those days I ache to feel something. That’s the scary part. That I possess the potential to be blank. To not have thoughts or ideas, passions or desires. That terrifies me. Odd that my biggest fear is something I so often encounter in the minds of everyone I meet.
