What emotions do you feel in your heart?

Like deep down, pure emotion. The kind you love (or dread) to have. The kind that bring tears to your eyes.

Excitement - oh the excitement! You feel it ring in your chest - and it grows from there. Like a roller coaster pitching you up and down and one way and the other in space. The welcomed stomach turning and veins pulsing almost painfully. It's amazing! The excitement that tickles your heart and curls your lips into an uncontrollable smile.

How about love? Oh, love and longing seem to go hand in hand. You can feel your chest reach for what you love. It leads to the excitement of jumping and smiling. That heavy love in your heart is like a string attached to your chest, pulling you to continue. It's why we do what we love year after year after year, through the good times and the bad times and the worse times…

And then there's the guilt. That feeling in the dark and heavy bottom of your heart. The unavoidable yet so deeply unwanted guilt. Your most regretted moment - it pops right into your head and your breathing slows, like the simple sensation is lessening your need to live. Your throat clogs with tears filled with hatred for yourself. And the struggle to not let them show pressures your head like it's going to explode. Sheer regret can kill, it seems.

What emotions do you feel in your heart?

Surely more then all this.

Now double it.

What emotions does he feel in his hearts?

What drives him every moment every step, ever adventure? Every disappointment and every single maddening situation?

And what drove him to the lake that afternoon?

Surely more then all this.
