Maybe we're trying too hard

Mental note: It's hard to write about an emotion, when the emotion can't be felt.

Have you ever experienced a situation that left you so hurt, so scared that when something similar happens...you're numb? You don't laugh. You don't cry. You don't feel a thing. You feel nothing. Absolutely no emotion. You're just a blank page.

Unfortunately, numbness is not something we want to feel. But an upside to that numbness is the blank page it brings us to; the blank page is an option. In my opinion, we have three options. One, stay a blank page. For however long you feel it, you stay numb and never acknowledge it. Two, you color your blank page negatively. You cover your page in black and chose to look only on the worst parts of the situation. Three, you color your page positively. You use color and imagination and you make the best of things.

Better mental note: Color your blankness(numbness) or blackness(bad emotions) with imagination and REAL color. Make the best of the worst situation God gives you.
