Alexithymia; it literally means "without words for emotions". It's a personality trait where a person has difficulty verbalizing feelings.
I think I have this.
Talking is so hard. Especially on the spot. I mean, writing out something full of emotion, no problem, but actually talking about something deep...no way.
Alexythymia is also a song by the band Anberlin.
A line in that song says "There's more to living than being alive". Jesus said that He came that we may have life, and have it more abundantly. I don't understand Christians that act like they have nothing to live for and that life is a drudgery. Christians should be the most alive people alive. Jesus makes my life beautiful and exciting, He has allowed me to be married to my favorite person in the world and I have no complaints.
This is how excited I am about life
I really like your picture at the top of your blog :) you are fabulous. I am excited that you will be updating this often with pictures of what you are doing and your home... Hint hint.
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I was glad to find your blog. Cute pic of you and your man at the top of your blog. Hilarious pic of your brother at the bottom. =) We surely enjoyed getting to spend some fun times with your parents and brothers and sisters while we were in the states! You have a wonderful family...and that includes you and your husband too! =D
ReplyDeleteTake care, and I'll be stopping back by to see the updates. =)
As always, I love reading your writing! I remember when you were little, writing plays, and letters, etc. I always loved them. Sometime when I locate them again you should post them here!!! They were precious...the development of your spiritual life showing through your writing as well as your experimenting with styles.
ReplyDeleteYou were such an "alive" little girl then too! Jumping, running, laughing, falling, singing pretending, etc. And ALWAYS bringing others along with you in your latest escapades!!
Sweet memories! I love you so VERY much!! And I miss your "alive" spirit around here!!! Keep up the writing!
Looking forward to hearing more from you & your life! :-)
