A note to a friend:
"Now, onto something new. Well, not exactly new, just something I've been thinking about, and feel the need to say. I know, I know, I feel the need to say just about everything that passes through my head, but bare with me please...
I keep remembering how you described me that one time pretty soon after we met. You said I had a quiet intensity about me. I really enjoy that description, whether you meant it in a good way or not. I don't know if my intensity is all that quiet, but it most definitely exists.
That's why I cry in church, that's why I tend to feel emotions a bit more keenly than others, that's why my mood swings can be so drastic, that's why I turn unexplainable feelings into understandable ones. That's why I'm so indescribably grateful to you right now, and why I want so badly to understand the things you already do.
I don't know if you can get where I'm coming from, or if you even care to. But I think one of the reasons I get upset sometimes is because I'm feeling something so intensely, whether its about you, or God, or just life in general, and I'm looking for a reaction that is equal in intensity. I think that's why I prefer to talk to you in person, because you're more likely to respond in a tangibly emotional way."
Just though I'd share. No real reason. I suppose I just like to put my personal info out there for the world to see, haha.
