Working Out

I can't do sit-ups. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't know how to. I don't know how to use those muscles. I recognize that in so many fields, so many emotional fields. It feels like I have emotional 'muscles' that I just don't know how to use. I want to but I don't know how. It feels like I hardly even know (or rather, knew) that they where there.

It's strange. I guess I'm learning now, bit by bit. But I am afraid that I'll forget, when I don't have to use them. One day this will be over and I'll be alright again. I want to remember the lesson I learned (if there is one), but looking at my history... It's easy for me to forget. To let those muscles remain untrained.
