Here I am staring at the screen with empty thoughts blurring pass flashing headlights of cars on the highway. It's the point in life where I would say that I'm old enough to be able to think through problems and find answer which in the past would otherwise be a daunting task to solve.

So here I am. At this point in life where everything is subjective. There are no 100% correct answers. There is no right or wrong. There is just perception. We create words that are so vague that any alien from another planet would find it hard to understand. How do you define love, hate, infatuation, lust, anger, basically emotions? I'm not going into details as these are best discussed through individual conversations and discussions.

As humans and our consciousness we live on everyday without knowing or understanding this complexity in us. It so called "defines" who we are and most of us let it control us. It is only in time of sadness where we start to question it. Why is it that only desperation opens up our minds? Be it for the better or for the worse. In my personal observations and through friends' experiences, this is a common issue. I've thought up of an interesting comparison that can be used to signify emotions and why we are reacting as such.

Take for example tastes. When we eat something that's tastes and look sweet and nice, it doesn't matter if its fatty, contain tons of flavoring/MSG/oily/etc. Its nice! How about something bitter? Would you get worried and wonder what is in it? Would you spread the word about how sucky the food was to other friends and at the same time avoid others similar to it? It's a rather broad comparison but it's similar in a way. 1stly that "oh he's/she's cute"(looks nice), and then when you get to know that him or her(tastes nice) and find them "attractive", somehow other spits and spats about them are not applicable. So you go on and from here it might branch off to different scenarios. He or she can turn bitter/sour, remain sweet and your fave all your life, or just plain "jelak".

That's just an example for relationships of course. If you think about it, its kinda similar in other aspects too eg. Anger = bitter, sadness = sour, whatever your imagination would wanna take you to. So why not mix around the feel with different tastes? If its sweet, look for why is it sweet. Does it have a pinch of bitterness that wasn't detected at 1st? In bitterness, was there a touch of sweetness in it? What are these tastes made of? And soon you'll know the ingredients which would make you more aware of what you're getting and how to counter it.

A simple yet weird way of understanding emotions, but I feel its connected to our 5 senses, not just taste. Making things sweet as I like it and a little sour here and there. Bitterness I hate most....

Back to my trail of empty thoughts.
