Been thinking about the emotions in Inside Out 2 and who would be running my brain console. I love how positive emotions (Joy) running things isn't always healthy, and negative emotions (anxiety) can be good for maturing emotionally. Honestly, I think Fear is running my brain console! As someone from a third world country moving to the first world, I'm at the age where I'm earning adult money but I'm living away from my parents who are in their 60s. I'm always scared that I'm losing time with them, that we won't have a lot of time to enjoy life together (to travel, where I can finally pay for them to enjoy things) before they get really old. I'm scared that my dogs are also aging and I'm not there with them. But the fact that this fear is there also speaks of the love that is borne out of it! I talk to my mom often these days and recently took her on a trip to Japan. I always make sure to react to all the Facebook reels my dad sends me (trust me, there are a lot). I also fear that I'm losing my closeness with my sister, as I haven't been physically there for the majority of her 20s. So from this fear is a lot of reparative actions to keep us close. Fear is actually the motivation to do the work of love that is required, and enjoyed, day to day. Tell me about your brain consoles!!
