Dichotomous

One of my favorite things is being able to feel more than one emotion at a time.

For example, during my college graduation a week ago yesterday, I felt both relief that it was over and sad that I was saying goodbye. (Goodbyes and I do not really get along that well.)
I mourned the chances missed while welcoming the broad new avenues ahead.

Admittedly, it can be hard to know which emotion to express when one feels two at once. For me, they usually war between themselves and surface at varying times. I cried, and then smiled, and then cried. It was like I was manifesting a small-scale manic-depressive attitude.

That was not my first dichotomous emotional experience, and neither do I reckon it to be my last.

I just hope that I'm able to feel the true depths of the emotions out fully, when more than one of them are present at a time.
