413 Entries for “emptying”

  1. to completely remove something, in a literal sense, from a bucket or container of some sort, but metaphorically, as a sort of cleanse of the soul. If a person were to “empty”, they would be ridding themselves of something terrible.

  2. Dear god, I’ve wrote about this word before but I don’t understand this site. So, in turn, I have to write about this word AGAIN so I can find the place where I can find another word. Emptying is an ugly word anyway. It can go sit with Vomit in the ugly word corner. Disgraces.

  3. Sometimes you just need to let go.
    From one thing to the next, it’s all a cycle yes- but what counts is that you’re here.
    You’re alive.
    emptying. refreshing. renewing.

  4. my life is emptying. bleh i think i am empty but i hate it. I want nothing more than to be whole and happy. My life is a river emptying into the ocean. i give so much and never get anything back

  5. Emptying the trash sucks. It reeks of death and feet, like my soul. I should probably kill myself. This trash is disgusting. I am disgusting. Excuse me while I go empty this world of my EXISTENCE.

  6. I walked over to trash can. I smelled my dead gold fish that I had thrown away the day before. A moment of nostalgia hit my stomach and then I went about emptying the trash. That was a sad day!

  7. I find the task of emptying the trash mediocre. I wish for an invention that will do this task for me. I am not a lazy person, but I dislike the smell. It almost seems like emptying my past. By throwing away my belongings, I feel that I’m throwing away my past.

  8. I don’t understand the point of this. One word? Emptying? Empty my thoughts. Empty my head. Clear my mind. Wipe clean my soul. Lift the veil from in front my eyes. Give me a new slate to engrave. Self-doubt has stifled any progress I have the potential to make. Insecurities of both mine and others leave me doubting the potential itself.

  9. Emptying the garbage can can be frustrating. We had a tin pail for a garbage can, it’s wire would dig into my hand as I carried it down 4 flights of stairs.

  10. It was exciting to empty my mind of all that I had accumulated during the days that I spent in college, talking with my wife and communicating with my children. The universe is full of concepts that should be emptied back out upon the hearts and souls of all men. the more we learn the greater the advantage for all. What a great concept it is to empty back out that which we learn.

  11. my soul into the vast hole that is the universe. it pours more and more as each of them says goodbye. it is amazing how empty it can be but yet so full at the same time. how much longer could i go on.

  12. Gah, wow. Everything I do recently is so emptying. Like every little thing I try to do, no matter how much energy I have beforehand, just ends up being so mentally exhausting. Even just thinking about things too much just empties me out. Writing this is really hard… I can’t even think straight.

  13. Emptying: The feeling of being alone. You have been emptied of all of your emotions and you just dont care anymore. You move on and start new and get on with your life, without have to remember the old feelings of hurt and loss.

  14. I am emptying my heart of all the dirty things. There is so much filth that I have acquired over the years. Filth from the past,filth from the present and I’m sure there is filth from the future to come. I am looking to empty the things that are tainting me, hindering me from being the best that I can be. I am not who I should be, who ever is? I am not who I want to be…so I am emptying my hypothetical trash can and sending it down my hypothetical garbage disposal….

  16. Emptying my mind, my thoughts, and the dishwasher.

  17. how my heart felt after being with him for so long. my love just started draining. I love and loved him, but it was going away and the sad thing is I knew there was no way to fix it. I will miss him forever, but that is only a memory now.

  18. Emptying of mind, not of body, then what of the body?

    My thoughts faded, feeling dissipated, awareness dispersed. For a moment, there was no *me*.

    Ann
  19. I empty my heart out to you and you say nothing. I leave my heart’s door open for you to walk in and fix the clogs and leaks but you walk right by and never notice what’s really going on.

    Cheyenne
  20. The garbage, the washer, oh yes the dishwasher.

  21. i am emptying the void in my head, like if it where possible, I am drowining where there is no water, I am left with nothing, once more.

  22. Once upon a dream… I emptied my soul to you.. Now it seems stitched over and the person I was is no longer the person I am…

  23. I could feel it leaving me. Like a river emptying into a stream, it was pouring out of me and into the atmosphere around me, soaking into the trees and the ground, and evaporating into the sky. The longer I sat there, the lighter I felt, until I felt as if I might float away.

  24. It’s simple. Just empty them out. It’s not worth anything thinking about. Just do it.
    Hush those loud, monstrous thoughts. You don’t need them. Stop racking your head. It will all be silent soon. Just push those thoughts away. Enter utopia.

  25. i’m emptying a pot of coffee. out of reflex i made it, even though the doctor says i’m not allowed to drink caffeine anymore. although it helped my heart stop the fast beating associated with tachycardia, the ritual of making coffee in the morning is still one that I wish to continue.

  26. It is in emptying yourself that you find nothing. People cannot be empty. They must be full to the brim and flow out of who they are. They must share their whole selves so that they may also fill the emptiness of others. There cannot be nothing, because everything is something. We cannot give in to despair. There must be no emptiness. There must only be hope.

  27. Emptying his thoughts was difficult. It was the rattle of the noise inside his head, he just wanted to shout “shut up” as he cradled himself to sleep. It was tiring. He couldn’t handle it.

    Locke
  28. AS I ran through the rain trying to forget. emptying all my thoughts about what had just taken place. just as the rain fell so did my heart. maybe it was my fault that i heard what I did, I should not have been eavesdropping. Perhaps it was time, maybe it was meant to be.

  29. When I think I know what the movie is about..it never is. about what? what I thought it was about. That is exactly the reason why I would rather read a book. the books. are always. better than the movie. That’s what I’ve heard all my life and that’s what I have come to see as the emptying of my brain…of all things that really do not…need my attention or concern. no. not at all.

  30. “Learn to empty your heart–empty all its desires and lusting.

    Then gladly fill it with gratitude, love and joy.”

    He told me so.

  31. Emptying the dishwasher…garbage…and doing a whole bunch of chores trying to clean stuff up. This is the worst word ever because it just means work to me… I cant type about this for this long…

  32. to purge all of your burdens.
    stand straight, and then collapse .
    …close off whats normally heard.
    still trying to relax…

  33. my soul. THere is nothing to fill the space but the void. thank me later, but I took the liberty of unclogging the love valves of your plaque ridden heart. I look a little spoon and dug a little canal through your aorta. Seeing that you had no reservations about emptying my heart, I thought Id do you the favor of clearing yours of of all the gunk thats accumulated over years of heartbreak, even though Im not the one who put it there. No problem really, I just gave my time, care, energy, and love to make you whole again. So Seriously, thank me later.

  34. It was about the end of the evening when I realized that I left every last piece of mail in my briefcase. I was sick to death of doing this. I leave everything where it doesn’t belong. It’s a minor inconvenience to everyone else, but it’s the end of the damn world to me.

  35. My soul has begun the process of emptying. nothing matters anymore and no matter what i do it never satisfies my soul. I dont have friends i’m a virgin and have never been drunk all at 16.

  37. Emptying is a vast idea. It can be applied to so many things. It can be simple- I am emptying my garbage can. Or it can go much deeper. I am emptying my heart of everything that gives me pain.

  38. the glass began to fade the water inside, as the sun swallowed it.

  39. There was a constant drip in the corner of the bathroom. The bucket would fill up every three days. It was my job to empty it, but while I was emptying it, the leak would drip on me.

    Falling
    Funneling downwards towards an endless spiral of oblivion to which there is no escape
    Sucking the soul from someone
