Welcome back my lovely readers! How were all of your AP tests? Hopefully we all passed right? Well the novel that i am currently reading, "The Lost Boy" by Dave Pelzer, is continuing to get more and more intense as Dave gains more and more freedom. He is becoming an extremely troublesome child but this can be justified due to his abusive childhood. Pelzer reflects, "I began to turn off my feelings. By then, I was completely drained of emotion" (151). He believed that making himself "hard" and no longer victim to emotion would solve his problem, but it ended up worsening his current state of mind.
When I first read this, I had to stop because I was amazed at my personal connection to this passage. To put it bluntly, I struggle to have emotions. You are probably thinking, what is this girl talking about, or oh my goodness, I never knew, or maybe even I understand how you feel. Whatever category you fit in, we're all in the same boat. We question if our emotions are true or not. This is really personal but sometimes I feel that I don't have emotions. In times when I feel like I should be crying, I just can't. I try to be "regular" and have these feelings but it just doesn't happen. I don't know what to do in these scenarios and I usually just stand there. Do you guys have any advice on anything or ever felt emotionless? I would love to hear your opinions.
On to the useless information now. This book never ceases to surprise me. Every page makes me want to read more. I read this book comfortably on my bed and really like the book so far. I find it extremely interesting and thought provoking by Dave recalling past thoughts, emotions, and events. Overall, I would recommend this book to everyone.
