I can't even begin to describe to you what it's like to crave the ability to feel.  When your numb from what is supposed to be emotional devastation you wish more than anything to be allowed to feel the sadness instead of just sitting in a corner of your mind, observing the tragedy and admiring the beauty.

And than you turn on a piercing song that normally you wouldn't be able to hear without crumbling, yet all it does is make the moment more beautiful.  And you sit there and grip your head going insane with the lack of pain, lack of fear, lack of emotion.

BECAUSE IT'S BETTER TO FEEL IT ALL.
It's reassuring.
Like a pulse.
It assures you that you're human.

THE APATHY IS TERRIFYING!!!
