Today's weather is just perfect for emo-ing. It's cold, with a light drizzle. The roads are empty and quiet. Looking outside, the world appears to have come to a standstill.

And just to add on to the perfect ambience, I just watched a melodrama movie that almost touched me to tears, all alone.

The successful gathering of all these factors are like how the wind, clouds and humidity come together to bring a thunderstorm. Sometimes it seems so coincidental that it all seemed planned, like as if someone is behind the scene orchestrating the entire process.

But emo-ing isn't all bad. The word itself originated from the word "Emotions", and is used to describe a person feeling particularly emotional at a certain point of time. Since emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human, one can safely say that "being emotional" is nothing more than just "being human".

I for one, enjoys feeling emotional once in a while. For me it's like an opportunity to go deep into my inner core, and engage in a spiritual interaction with another individual, someone who is me and yet not me. We share the same past, yet we live different lives, simply because we think and feel different over the same issues.

Interacting with this alter-ego is fascinating. It gives me a different view I have never thought of in this half I'm living as. Sometimes it tells me things that I would prefer not to acknowledge. On other occasions it tells me how I truly feel about certain issues and people, even though I may not realise it.

Because such interactions are so personal and honest, there are no facades and denials. It's about acceptance and enlightenment.

At the end of the session, the two sides of me that had became so different from each other due to the differences of our lives, are aligned again. I feel in control, and at peace.

Even though no movement from my physical body is required for this magical process, spiritual growth is achieved. This goes to show that being still and doing nothing are two very different things.
