definition

define emotion.
wikipedia says that emotion is associated with mood (a relatively long lasting emotional state), temperament (the aspects of ones personality), personality (a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences him or her), disposition (a habit, a preparation, a state of readiness, or a tendency to act in a specified way), and motivation (activation or energization of goal-orientated behavior).

but can we ever really define emotion?
personally, i've had a very emotional week. in fact, it would fall right into my whole rollercoaster life. there have been some ups, and some downs. but is emotion really that intricate? is it honestly linked with all these other parts what make up who we are?
well i guess that's just an ultimate question in itself. a question that we shall never know the answer to.

to me, emotion can be disappointing, it can be overwhelming or crushing to the soul, or it could even make your day. your emotions define you, and nobody will ever feel the same emotion that is burning inside your heart.

however, what you choose to do with that emotion is completely up to you.
it may not be what you do with it that is the problem though.
it's the consequences.
it's the results.
it's sometimes a good thing.
but it's epic judgement.

now judgement is another whole thing by itself.
judgement is the evaluation of evidence in the making of a decision.
what is that? evaluation of evidence?
judgement on the rollercoaster never even seems to get that far - all that ever happens is a slight rumour or lie or even a truth; sometimes your real emotions get out, get out of hand, and the judgement spreads like wildfire.
i know that i'm a culprit in this as well, but seriously, once you realise the full impact of things you say, you ask yourself why you even said such a thing in the first place.
i'm so sick of judgement.
it hurts.

so to anyone who this may apply to, i have a philosophy that my mother used to tell me when i was a child.


if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all.

maybe try applying this to your own life..?

and so it begins..

and so it begins, as i join the craze of blogging - people pointing out their flaws, imperfections, hopes, desires, dreams, and on top of that, just a whole lot of random nothing.
oh, and not to forget the endless procrastination and trying to forget about reality for a little while.

but more to the point - i believe that life is a rollercoaster. hence name of this blog. and the story of my life.
there are always ups, and always downs, and even times when we think we're going to spin out of control - but no matter what we always have to get off the rollercoaster at one point or another, wait in line for our turn, and let all that adrenalin rush through out bodies while we wait for it all to begin again.

the rollercoaster may be hard sometimes,
but i love it too much to ever change it.
