Emotional Spectrum

Day 1208.

Are all emotions on the same spectrum? On some sort of a sliding scale?

Is happiness just the other end of sadness?

I ask myself because the slightest emotional stir from a movie or a song lights up all my deepest saddest emotions.

Once lit up, in whatever direction, the deepest sadness unleashes the tears.

If it is happiness - I cry for happier days.

If it is sadness - I cry for how sad my family is, for how sad I am.

I know, I cry a lot anyway! But the slightest emotional stirring opens up my Pandora’s box and gives way to these enormous tears I cry for my Luke.
