Initially, I planned to come here to write about the book I finished earlier...and I will write about it, probably tomorrow, but... my brain is mushy due to emotional exhaustion. Thanks, internet, for giving me glimpses into the grieving processes of children. I also think I could go the rest of my life without anyone else I know being terrified and sorrowful when their newborn is seriously ill. It's been a rough week for many of my acquaintances. It's been a week that's made me increasingly grateful for all that I have. People put it all out there, now...all that raw emotion... it really is amazing. It'd all be so much easier to deal with if I weren't such an emotional sponge. Suppose this is why I'm useless in situations with high levels of emotion - it's not that I can't deal with the emotions of others, I just absorb them. Even if I hardly know the people. In a sense, I'm okay with this...affliction... yet I don't feel that I'm good at *being there* for others in times of need when I've completely shut down.
Despite all the things that've done me in emotionally, the only thing that's made me cry has been So You Think You Can Dance! I called it from auditions - Melanie just had something special about her. Anyway...here's the the only dance from the entire season that actually made me cry...all happy tears :)
Well, I guess that's not entirely true. There was one death in the book I finished that got to me... and not so much the death, but the way it was dealt with...a hero's send-off for a peasant. There's something about that sort of thing that gets to me... in a good way. :)
