Dear Mina:

Thank you for trusting me with referring to him as Gyunnie. I feel honored that you do.

You wrote that you are sorry for sounding so emotional- people often enough apologize for being emotional. I too feel uncomfortable with emotion at times. It is … as if we are supposed to be these robotic machines, to think logically and live logically with no interference by emotion. Thing is we are emotional beings, born that way, and we never outgrow our emotional nature. At best we learn not to act impulsively, to think before we act, but we don’t … get rid of emotions. We need to understand our emotions, the information that is in them, so to live better, to… truly make sense of our lives.

The song you quoted: “You saw the best there was in me”- for us to see the best in us, we need to see it through the eyes of someone who loves us. As not only emotional beings, but social beings, we need to be loved by someone so to feel loved and lovable.
