I want to feel again

I want to feel emotions again.  When I was younger, I was teased and bullied so much that I would come home crying.  Over time I taught myself to suppress my emotions.  It worked.  It worked too well.  Over the years, I have become absolutely disconnected from the feelings of others, I lost the capacity to feel sympathy and empathy.  The lack of emotions have made me stronger and tougher, I became more than human, but at the same time became less than human.  I want to feel again.  I want to experience the good and bad of emotions.  I want to feel happiness, sorrow, peace, anger, love, and hate.  I want my emotions back because to feel is to be human.

Note to self:  Feel emotions and feel sympathy and empathy for others.
