Emotion: Smooth
Emotion story:
Airport is a place that will always evoke my emotions, and they are not always the same. Every time I go to an airport, my feeling could vary because of the context and my age. I did not fly without my parents until I was 17 when I went to a high school in Canada. I had never traveled alone, but suddenly I was all by myself. Nevertheless, I did not feel nervous, terrified, or even a little bit of sad. I was just purely excited. I could not to wait to live a life in a whole new world and most importantly, being “independent” from my parents. I walked straight out of my parents’ sight, because I know my mother was crying and I did not know how to comfort her with a heart full of happiness. Now I regret what I felt that day every time I go to the airport, and I have never felt that way ever since. The reality turned out not so sweet as I thought, I ran back home during spring break. I was extremely homesick, and all I can think of is going home, no matter how long I can stay. Six months away from home, I flew back with a heart full of happiness, again, but I was going home this time. Vancouver airport is a really beautiful place, but I just could not care less about that. After an over 18 hours trip of flying, waiting, and transferring, I was finally home. I wanted to kiss the ground when I put my feet on the land of my hometown. That small and old airport was the best place on earth because my parents were waiting for me there. I cried when I saw them, six month of pressure finally got relief at that moment. Ever since that time, I always feel really happy when I fly back home. That is an easier situation for me. However, when I fly away from home, things are harder. I still try not to look back at my parents because I still do not know how to walk away when my mother is crying. There is a soft spot in my heart telling me not to leave, but I got my way to go. In fact, people all have their ways to go and their lives to live on. That was when I first said good-bye to a friend at the airport that made me know how is it like to be the one stays and watching others leave.
As for clothing and accessories, there is no doubt that they have huge impact on me. When I am in my pajamas , I tend to feel lazier and less likely to be motivated. On the other hand, a very well dressed up day could completely refresh me and give me a whole new attitude of learning and doing things. Also, in terms of dressing up, it could vary from casual to formal. When I dress up in casual outfit, I would feel lighter and more pleasant. But when I dress in formal clothing, I would feel more serious about what I am doing. I do not have much experience on accessories, but I do have some earrings. When I wear stud earring, I have more of a neutral feeling than a very feminine feeling when I wear dangly earrings. Also, I would categorize people based on their outfits and style. According to the elements they have on their looks, I get categories such as hippies, high fashion, fine art student, and so on. And according to the general style, I know if they are dealing something serious or they are just having a relaxing day. Also, the details of them also tell me if they are in a good mood or they were late to class.
Memory is blended with emotions, especially for those that are impressive. So whenever you replay your memory in your inner brain, it always goes with your emotions at that time. Memory could be the trigger of emotions. For example, when I was in elementary school, I read a horror book in my father’s car while he was driving. And by the time I felt really terrified, the CD player is playing an album. Ever since, I would always feel scared when I listen to that album in my father’s car, even for now, I do not remember any of that book any more, but I still feel somehow terrified when I retrieve that memory, or actually be in that situation again.
Your can create a form that can make most people feel connected to and evoke some certain emotions. For instance, a lot of people are scared of snakes, so when you create a form that looks similar to snakes, that is supposed to work. Or, you can customize a form for a particular target.You can build a form based on the research you did on that persons’ or group’s emotional preference and background.
