Popcorn-just like Feelings.

Popcorn only pops when you heat the kernels up with some source of heat whether electric, by a microwave or over an open fire. The popcorn ALWAYS has a source. Without corn, there would be no such thing as "popcorn". Without the source, there would be no way to make the kernels into what they come to be.

Feelings always have a source, whether from the heart or thoughts of others around you. Those things create the feelings that you have.

Kernels pop, but sometimes they don't. If the heat doesn't get to them or if there isnt enough butter on the kernel to penetrate it for it to pop, then it stays a kernel.

Sometimes we have feelings for reasons that we don't know why. Instead of 'popping' like everyone else is we simply just don't pop at all. We keep our feelings to our selves and never share them with eachother.

If you ever roast or pop popcorn there always seems to be a couple that pop late..sometimes very late....they are the kernels that pop when you take a bag out of the microwave and as you open the bag one pops..

Feelings can be like that in a person. You hold feelings in and never express them or talk about that and then one day, you pop/blow!! Everything feels like it's exploding, and you don't know what to do. Pretty soon that's all you ever know. Is to hold on to the feelings and then one day let them go with more than just a free hand; more like a thunderstorm or hurricane. It can effect others.
