Defining Emotion

[Villager]

What would you say has been the prevalent emotion in your life? Something that seems to be a part of you more than everything else.

LOVE,

It's simple ... just open up your heart and it comes.

[Andie]

I would say love...but..
Considering how few times i experianced true love it cant be it..
This needs some serious thinking..

I'll have to say happiness. It's the main thing that my father stressed while I was growing up. No matter what you do, make sure that you are happy. From jobs to relationships.

But have you been successful?

wow....... i dont even know how to answer that one... there are so many things i have learned and so many things i believe in...... its have to pick just one :) If honesty is or can be an emotion then thats prolly number one in my life.... once you have that.... in your self.... everything falls into place... love , happiness , self respect, and trust :)

Patience, I have learned that patience has made my life more enjoyable, alot less stressful, and I seem to calm "CUSTOMERS" when I bite my tounge and just listen to them vent.

The more I apply patience to my daily routine the the happier the world is around me......

I can be real cheesy at times...

compassion & understanding..... I don't think either is an emotion but it both c&u help to keep other emotions in check for a more peaceful and happy life.

I would have to say that I have experienced all emotions nearly equal. And have been successful and happy in all things.

For those of you who are laughing about me saying successful (gracie) in marriages..... LOL ok but I was successful in my divorces.... so I suppose that makes it a nice equal?

[Redallnite]

Oh that doesn't matter, just being successful with who you are makes everything equal.....

Thats a tough one...there is happiness, and love. But the one thing that sticks in my mind the most was when i had got myself into some major trouble and i called my dad at like 2am. I was at my apartment. My first comment was "Dad i need you to come over." his reply " Ok, i'll on my way." I never have gotten into any trouble where i had to call him at that time before. I have some good friends that have dropped what they were doing to be there for me aswell. I guess just the comfort of knowing you have people in your life you can call on in a moments notice and they will be there for you. That is byfar the best feeling of all. Which in a sense is happiness, compassion, understanding, and love all in one.:)

love....im full of it and i give it to everyone worthy of it

Love works...my drive in life has always been related to the people around me. I love to work on friendships and relationships...I adore people. Unfortunately, I've been hurt many many times, so it's hard to trust people. Without trust there is no love and without love...well...a life without love, that's terrible...

(Brace for Moulin Rouge)
All you need is love....all you need is love...all you need is loooove
Love is just a game...
I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee
Just one night gimme just one night
There's no way, cause you can't pay
In the naaaame of love, one night in the name of love
You crazy fool, I won't give into you...
Don't leave me this way, I can't survive without your sweet love oh baby don't leave me this waaayy....

Sorry, I adore that musical. Now music, that defintely has been a driving force in my life. When I was hurt or upset in elementary school, I would go cry in a corner and make up songs while I did it...been doing that forever.

100%? No. But for the most part I am happy with who I am and what I have done.

Diva I've said this to you privately, but want to say it publicly now. You should be very proud of who you are and what you've become. You've overcome many things in your life and from what I can see have become very successful. There are so many people in this world that would just lay down and let these obstacles destroy them. You don't. You face them head on and because of that have become the beautiful, successful and loving person you are today. I admire you and am proud to call you a friend. :)

**BIG HUG** Thank you so much, Tats. I really needed that today.
