confusion surrounds me

Feelings are weird. Emotions are confusing. I'm perplexed. I hate how emotions get in the way of my rational and logical thought processes, clouding the whole thought chain until nothing makes sense anymore. It's like standing on one side of bridge and looking at the other side, knowing the necessary steps to get there...but half the steps are missing, and even though you know they're there (or are at least pretty sure they are) despite being invisible, all of a sudden it just doesn't make cognitive sense why you would know they were there, even if they aren't. So, you don't take that step forward, that little jump. Will you fall? Will you be supported somehow by some unknown, unseen force? Who knows? Apparently I'd rather just sit here and wait for something to appear out of nothing.
