#10 - handling the feels
No doubt by now you’ve felt that crushing, burning sensation
in your heart that makes you just want to crawl in a hole and sob and never
come out again. Feels. They’re terrible. It’s okay to cry, though. Happens to
the best of us. There’s always that one character you love who never seems to
be happy or they die and it just rips your heart out.
Take Sherlock’s death. Especially for all the Johnlock
shippers, that was a particularly brutal time. I mean, that was two years ago
and here we have our beloved Sherlock on a building telling John that he’s a
fake (when we know it’s a lie) and reaching out for him and saying goodbye and
falling to his death. If that doesn’t hurt just a little bit then you aren’t
human.
Or maybe like the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration when you know
he had to leave Rose and TenToo behind in the alternate universe and he saved
the world and lived but lost his life to protect one man – Wilf. And then he
got to go back in time and went and saw Rose in 2005 (the year she met Nine)
and yes his last words: “I don’t want to go”. Fantastic.
Needless to say there’s no easy way to deal with feels
besides finding a good friend to talk to or maybe curling up in a blanket with
a bowl of ice cream and sobbing silently alone into the darkness. Feels will
come. They’ll hit you hard. “Normal” people won’t understand. It’s a cycle.
