This is how I know a God exists.

Think of a time that garnered a huge emotional feeling from within you. Anger. Sadness. Love. Jealousy.

These emotions come without warning. You can control your body and your actions, but you can not control the emotions that come.

Longing.

It sticks around and leaves when it wants. The only thing that can defeat it is time, or another emotion big enough to drive it out. Hopefully that might be enough to keep it way until it comes rushing back in a flurry.

There isn't a cure for emotion.
Only methods for escape.
A way to mask the feelings.
Until it fades away.

For something so complicated, so fierce, so unforgettable, there has to be someone to blame.

There has to be someone to thank.
