An apology from my rational brain to my emotion

I owe you an apology — I haven’t been willing to face you seriously. I’m sorry.

I realized that I lose my reasons and purposes when you lose your passion and desire

Without you, I have to rely on some external reasons, such as financial benefits, convenience or other people’s expectations. But it never works beautifully.

One day, you are invited to catch up but ended up not going. I blamed you a bit as it might made your friends disappointed. But actually, you are OK to do what you feel like. I’m sorry.

Another time, you were slightly annoyed by someone keeps messaging you. I suggested you to be nice to her, but it wasn’t nice to you. I know it’s sometimes uncomfortable to feel not being mutual. I’m sorry.

When you are invited for a dinner by that guy, I said No because he has a girlfriend in the community. But I know, you wanted to spend some time with him. I’m sorry.

I have been seeing you bearing your loneliness. But I always told you to keep it up and smile, and I have never actually taken any action. I won’t tell you to live with it anymore.

My emotion, I like your cheeky smile when you totally forget what I suggest and saying ‘Ooops!’. Yes, you didn’t do what you should have done, while you were dancing and laughing with your friends.

Ooops!, you did it again. You are so into writing and forget to prepare your dinner. Now you are hungry at 9pm.

We are in such a small head together, and how come we are so apart from each other? We just wanna live right with a warm heart, make a right decision, be happy, healthy and smart, nice to ourselves and the others, be passionate for our life, don’t we?

Let’s live together hand in hand. We will be alright.
