You Might Need Sensation to Feel Emotion

You’re driving, half-thinking about nothing, radio on shuffle. A song comes on, not even one you’d call a favorite, and out of nowhere, you’re crying. Not because anything happened. Not because you were already sad and this just cracked the seal.

You’re driving, half-thinking about nothing, radio on shuffle. A song comes on, not even one you’d call a favorite, and out of nowhere, you’re crying. Not because anything happened. Not because you were already sad and this just cracked the seal. As far as you could tell, thirty seconds ago you were fine. Then a chord progression showed up, and so did the sadness, at almost exactly the same moment, as if they were never two separate events.

Or: a Tuesday spent feeling like static. Nothing wrong, nothing right, just flat. Then, walking home, the light does that particular late-afternoon thing against a brick wall, and something in your chest opens that you didn’t know was closed.

If any of that’s familiar, you’ve probably also had the follow-up experience, trying to explain it to someone and watching them not quite get it. So what were you sad about? Nothing. That’s the part they can’t hear. Nothing happened. The sensation wasn’t a trigger for a feeling that was already brewing somewhere inside you, waiting to be poked. It was the first sign the feeling existed at all.
