I've never been a natural.

This weekend at the digital FanworksCon, I noticed throughout the panels and vidshows, people consistently saying things like, "Too hard in the feels!" or "You've given me too many feelings."

I kept saying things like, "Thank you for all these feelings!" or "You've broken my heart and it feels wonderful."

I know I like feeling things. I guess in this year, of all years, with so little in the way of artistic stimulation and diminished capacity for human connection and a much-reduced capability for allowing myself the full depth and range of emotion, I really liked it when something hit me in a deep and honest way, and hit hard enough to pull out the sort of emotions which I like to experience.

So that's where I am this year. Most years, but especially this one. Happy to feel things.
