In this short reflective monologue, Sindy explores when emotional intensity shifted from being a sign of engagement to something we feel pressure to manage. A calm philosophical reflection on depth, regulation, and emotional flattening in modern life.
SCRIPT:
Intensity used to mean engagement.
Being moved. Being affected.
Now it’s treated like a risk.
Something to regulate, soften, or keep in check.
Strong emotions get labeled quickly.
Too much. Too fast. Too disruptive.
So we learn to dampen them early —
before they spill over,
before they ask for change.
But intensity isn’t always instability.
Sometimes it’s clarity arriving all at once.
And when every strong feeling becomes a problem to solve,
we don’t just manage intensity —
we manage ourselves out of depth.
