Olive Juice

There are so many ways that one can express themselves. Whether it be spoken word, or written, body language or facial expressions, they all give people and idea as to how you feel.

Some feelings are easier to express, but they are more natural. Anger is one of those emotions. Anger is what I call an instinct emotion; an emotion in which you act based off of how you feel at that particular moment, not taking into considerate the consequences.

Another instinct emotion is happiness. Happiness is a subtle emotion; one that is very simple to express. When you're happy, you smile, you laugh ect., without necessarily having to think about what to say and what to do.

Sadness is an emotion that is not so instinctive. Although in a lot of cases in can be, this is one emotion that is usually controlled and hidden. People tend to hide sadness because it is usually seen as a weaker emotion; pride doesn't allow the opportunity for the weak. So sadness is tucked away, never to be exposed, never to be tampered with.

Lastly, there is love. Love is pretty tricky, for love can be a combination of things. Some aspects of love are more instinctive than others. Physically, love instinctive. It is easy to hug someone, kiss some, and lay in their arms. Mentally, love is stubborn. It's not so easy to express in words or even writing the exact feeling that takes over your heart.

Another reason why love is so tricky is because the idea of love has been warped by the blackened mind of society. Love has been tainted and turned into something that its not. Love is often confused with pure sex. Indeed, intercourse is a way to express your love to someone, but sex itself is not love.

Love generally can be what you make it. People say that "love is pain". Ideally, this is not true, but in the minds of some, in order to truly be in love, you have to struggle and fight, so their "love" becomes such. Others feel that love is what they see in the big screen, which is unrealistic and more so of an irony than and emotion.

At the end of the day, regardless of how you feel or what you say, everything boils down to one phrase. Olive Juice.
