- detach -

"But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, 'All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.' "

Isa lang ibig sabihin kapag may bagong entry dito, siempre at my most instense surge of emotion.. From the book I read, tuesdays with morrie, it says there detach from feelings. Akala ko it means to say that we should be cold hearted, then I realize that he means otherwise. That you have to actually immerse yourself to the feeling, acknowledge it, then detach from it. That it is after you have acknowledged it that you can separate yourself from it. That you cannot detach from it if you have not known how it feels.

That is why I acknowledge that I
... am angry for letting myself react this way
... am saddened at the thought that I'm being neglected by someone close to me
... am missing him terribly

Detach.
