Sleepless in HGSD, talking about feelings

Ok so last day of school today. And I would be happy if it weren’t for the annoying fact that I. CAN’T. SLEEP! We’re allowed to sleep in and I was really hoping to do this, but of course my body decided that it was wide-awake at five in the morning. So since then I’ve been thinking and surfing the web. Mostly I’ve been thinking about the subject feelings. It’s getting more and more unusual to talk about feelings, with anyone really. Why should a girl have to say ”nothing” if she’s moved to tears by a movie?

Some emotions it might seem more “normal” to hide, but it’s still just an emotion. Of course, you should not just go over to someone telling them about how turned on you were last night… But when we’re faced with the question (being turned on or not) it’s suddenly the hardest thing, no pun intended, in the world to do.

Back to the real subject at hand anyways, feelings. Have you ever heard of someone (except some very manly men) who was afraid to tell you that they felt sad while watching a sad movie? Lets say a girl goes to the cinema and cries during the saddest scene of a movie. Where the dog dies saving the little boy from icy water. Which the boy jumped out in after saving his blind, deaf and dumb sister who on the top of this only has one leg. All this because a car accident in which both their parents died shielding their kids (and the dog). Both the girl and the boy both survived by the way. And then the happy, but sad ending where you slowly zoom in on the two kids holding hands over their parents grave thanking them for giving them the chance to live their life. So back to the girl in the cinema... What if she told her friends about her crying, all embarrassed with flushed, pink cheeks and her friends laughed, would this seem normal? No it wouldn’t, would it. Then why does it always seem like people are afraid to show how they feel? How come nobody ever feels like really laughing out loud or singing out his or her joy anymore?

We’re suddenly growing up to fast and what we end up leaving behind is those powerful feelings that we all need to feel. The feeling of being invincible, the feeling of flying when you’re on the swing and of course the feeling that you’ll never be able to stop laughing. Ok so philosophical Leila has said what she wanted to, now enter; Tired Leila! I’m going to try to get another hour or something of sleep. Talk to you later!

Oh, and to top it all off. A parody picture (took me ten sec and looks awfull) of the cover for the sleepless in seattle movie cover. Why, because you're worth it!
Behold my artistic awsomeness! I AM TIRED! Oo
