Emotions!!!

What are emotions? What makes us react to things? What makes us love, hate,etc? How does one keep emotions healthy? How does one take care for emotions? Is having emotions essencial? Can we live without emotions? What do emotions do? Are emotions part of us or do we make them part of us? Can I choose not to have emotions? Based on the dictionary the word emotion means a strong feeling. I am an emotional person, everyone is or not? Any how I don't plan on talking about emotions rather I am going to talk about mix-emotions. I've been having lots of those lately... I am very happy my ex is staying over at my house this weekend, I hope he has a good time with my family and myself, but I don't want to do anything that will get our hopes up, because well we both know its not going to happen for now. Its hard for me to show him I care about him, and still deny I don't want to be with him. I am a complicated girl! The other thing I am feeling has nothing to do with my ex, in fact it has to do with another guy who I kind of like, he is very sweet towards me, but I don't want to get involved, cause of loyalty to my ex, even though he has told me I can do what ever I please, I just dont see it right! The things is I can't be with my ex and I don't think I should try to get to know that other guy either! So that is what I call mix- emotions! till next time!
