Unresolved emotions

Relationships are not linear. 

Especially when the closeness between characters allows sudden stirring of emotions.

Stirring the heart brings up to the surface emotions that were left to sink over time. 

Ironically, it’s often the heaviest of them, the ones to come afloat first.

Sometimes, you may sense in advance that something is coming up. 

But more often than not, the unresolved emotions may catch you by surprise…BLOP!💦

You may feel the urge to label them. Baptize the never-seen-before formations. Just bear in mind, they can be quite confusing and particularly hard to describe.

What happened is that the original feelings have been exposed to many weather variations, a ton of inner transformations and quite a number of chemical interactions.

So, even without you noticing, layers of sentiments of different colors, textures, and taste were building up, then melting, combining and re-solidifying.

As a result, we get these amorphous amalgamations that can look so baffling, funny and illusively inoffensive, all at the same time. 

Then, the daunting questions arrive…What should I do with these? How do I make them disappear? what do they want from me?

Yes, It is annoying. They feel pervasive, yet useless.

You keep the hope that they may suddenly sink again and dissolve in the waters of your heart. And the may, eventually. Only not at your command.

In any case, these days I find myself haunted by unresolved emotions. They are creeping up, poking my back and tapping my shoulder whenever I dare to look away. And just when I believe peace have settled...Tap!Tap! there they are! Playing peek-a-boo with me again.
