บท 319: Heart Overload

When it came to feelings, the human heart could take a lot. Happiness, sadness, rage, heartbreak, disappointment, and unimaginable joy. Whatever emotion was thrown at it, the heart could take it. 

But like with everything else in the world, even it, had its limits. 

Too many emotions felt all at once. Or if one particular emotion exceeded the limit. Like maybe feeling too much sadness, or too much happiness. Then the heart just couldn't take it, and sometimes it would just stop, and that would be it, a life over just like that.

Derek did not like to think on such things. But he was pretty certain that that had been the route that he was heading. 

His heart had been working at maximum capacity for weeks. People might say heartbreak, like it was something that just happened all at once.
