I remember seeing a video on acting skills; how good ones can bring themselves to tears. When I was younger, I thought it was impossible, some biological hack… Now, after being heartbroken, manipulated, deceived and rejected, I can bring myself to tears spontaneously, literally within seconds. All I have to do is think of what I had, almost had or will probably never have in my life… That familiar but unwelcome pain in my chest… the coldness, bitterness, sadness. Nevertheless, I am not a very good actor. I used to be such… jubilently respond “I’m great, thanks, how are you?” but now it’s just “fine / okay. you?”. 🙂 🙁 guess I’ll just keep acting.
