misery:

that moment when you can actually feel the pain in your chest from seeing or hearing something that breaks you heart.


normally, i refrain from the quotes that start with: "that moment."

but i have felt this moment.  so i am allowing myself this exception.


it is a good thing we all have feelings.


i've had a sunken heart.  after seeing what is so heart wrenching, even just a glance, my heart drops and i believe it falls all the way to my knees.

it's a good thing though.  the human race's humility is not completely lost.  people still unite in the Pledge of Allegiance and when the state and country anthems are sung.  people still shake hands and hug sometimes.  people clap for others.  people smile at others.  people hold the doors open at the post office.  people say: "good afternoon."

if we have bad feelings, we should obviously avoid whatever it is that we are coming in contact with.  what good things can come from bad feelings?  nothing.

listen to your heart...

"when he is calling for you! listen to your heart...there's nothing else you can do!"

woohoo for old music.



so really, it's not misery.  it's just learning and growing.
