Emotion

I used to be immune to emotion. My parents thought my lack of humor was actually a birth defect. I'm not kidding, ask them.
I could sit through a depressing movie and not shed a tear. (Seriously, the first time I watched the Titanic, I don't think I cried.)
I'm not exactly sure when this changed.
But at some point, I gained a sense of humor (mine is much like my mom's: heavy sarcasm), and tear ducts.
I will now bust out laughing at things that aren't that funny, just to laugh. (Ask the kid in my third grade class. I laughed one day when he said "pudding". But we were best friends... so I don't think it scarred him that much.)
I cry during every movie I watch now. Whether or not it's sad.
I cried during Tangled. Tangled.
Don't even get me started on Finding Nemo. That movie is just depressing.
Anyway...
All this to say, I like emotion. Whether it's being funny or sad, I enjoy it.
I found this quote that I really love:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. The must be felt by the heart." - Helen Keller.
I'm also a big fan of the quote on this picture of me laughing. "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
