and when i get this feeling it's hard for me to come back down

so i'm taking a break from writing to do more writing. there is something deeply deeply ironic about this, but pardon me.

i was wondering today how to rationalise emotions, and whether they remain emotions if you do. i mean, what defines emotions that differentiates it from rational thought? one comes from the proverbial heart, the other from the mind. but we know that physiologically, those two parts are one and the same. so when do they diverge among the multitude of neurons that tell us what to think and do? i'll give anything to know.

but maybe that's just it. emotions are things you can't rationalise. all i know is that someone said something that made me very very happy tonight, but in the midst of my the rational thinking that came with writing my paper, i couldn't understand the significance of it.

but now i do. thank you.
