Logic of the Subconscious

I guess we’ll call that closure. I don’t think I really got my point across, but I made things worse every time I tried. I still feel like my trust was betrayed, but I can’t change that it happened. I’ll have to move forward from here and I’m almost looking forward to that.

I’m trying to appreciate the subtlety of emotion and it’s challenging. I walled myself off for so long that only extreme catalysts could elicit any emotional response. It was hard to admit this week that I thought I was actually feeling a flicker of happiness. I still don’t have the faintest idea what it means to be happy, but I felt something new and positive and I think I liked it. 

I recently heard emotions described as “the logic of the subconscious.” It struck me as surprisingly profound and appropriate. I’ve tried to logic my way around my emotions for years and was relatively successful to a point, but I only created more confusion and stress for myself. This newly shifted perspective feels like it wants to make sense. I just need to relax and let it.
