I Am Trying Very Hard Not to Become Emotional About This

What it does

Feeling has landed; composure is still negotiating the terms of public release.

Use it when

  • Tears begin during a meaningful moment.
  • You want to acknowledge emotion while containing it.
  • Kindness catches you unprepared.

For example

  1. The team signs the final copy of the project you are leaving.
  2. A student names you in the graduation speech.
  3. The repaired watch starts ticking in your grandfather's old case.
