Emotional

I'm writing from an emotional place because if I don't write from an emotional place I may speak from an emotional place, and if I speak from an emotional place I may say something I will later regret when I am less emotional and more thoughtful. Because right now, since I'm too emotional, my thinking cannot be as good as it is when I am not emotional or less emotional, but now that I'm emotional I'm trying to figure out why that is supposed to be a fact: that one can think better when one isn't feeling so much, that feeling comes at the expense of thought. But I guess I'm feeling too much to be able to see it clearly, and I have to have faith in those other times in which I do see it clearly, when I tell myself that I should always hold back on speaking until I am more reasonable, which I am clearly not right now.
