If I had to choose just one thing that most confuses me about life as a human, it’s emotion. I’m sure I’m in good company with this confusion. Just look at all the dysfunction in our world that can be attributed to people being unable to accept their emotions and then decide how to act. But today I’m thinking about one situation in particular that has me puzzled.
Have you ever written a letter/email to an acquaintance and felt the strong urge to end it by saying “I love you”? Now I’m not saying the type of love towards a spouse, but perhaps your closest friends. This happens to me all the time with one person in particular, and I find it quite odd. I mean, I don’t know her that well, and haven’t spent much time with her. Yet, there it is, sitting in my head when I send her an email. Do we have some deeper connection that I haven’t figured out yet? That’s the only logical explanation I have for it. But it’s still kinda weird to experience. Until I learn to see my past lives, I don’t think I’ll know why this happens. I guess I could add it to the list of random questions I ask psychics. lol

Smiling. Maybe it’s because you’re in your head and, trying to figure it out there, that is the cause of your confusion.
Yes, you are right, a lot of us are confused about emotions. We’ve got “need” confused with “love’ right off the bat. And don’t tend to claim responsibility nor accountibility for what those emotions ARE, either.
A lot of us claim to be ‘loving’ when all we really are, is insecure.

This is true, I’m trying to see if I can understand it at all from a logical perspective. However, if I don’t, that’s ok. There are many questions I ask, from day to day, and on this blog, that I ask but don’t really worry about finding an answer for. I think it will be quite humorous to look back on this in 10 years and see what I’ve answered, and what questions remain.
But I think what really confuses me is, I want to share this thought with the person involved. But how? If I decide to bring it up, I will need to have some of the words to describe it. To do that, I need to ask these types of questions.
One solution is to simply send love, act on love, without using the words. People are far more receptive to that. Humans are funny that way, being able to act on many things until it’s put into words - now it’s magically different. lol
I do know that this is a situation of love. There is no need or anything else involved. I think I’m actually pretty darn good at love vs something else, whatever that happens to be at the time. And love is something I don’t want to stifle. Maybe all I need to do is work on transitioning away from words, and towards more actions. hmm…
