BEWILDERING

We all experience a wide range of emotions—happiness, sorrow, anger, fear, love, and more. Our upbringing and surroundings shape how we feel and cope with these emotions, but one thing is certain: we crave emotional experiences. The thought of feeling nothing, a void of emotions, is truly terrifying. Yet, the thrill of experiencing multiple emotions simultaneously can be exhilarating. This intense desire for emotional highs is one reason drugs are so addictive. It’s both beautiful and terrifying, this duality of emotions. I can feel the intensity coursing through my veins, in sync with this powerful, emotional surge!
