What I would like you to understand about sadness is that I have the right to feel it, to live it and to accept it without being called weak, my world will be reconstructed piece by piece, after facing its nuances and understanding my demons.
To be sad is not to be sick, to have depression, or to have been overcome as souls overcome by the difficulties of life, sadness is an emotion, a punctual mood where the world immobilizes us so that we understand each other a little. more To dig into our voids.
- Sadness sometimes hides behind smiles.
- It is like an eternal passenger who visits us freely and spontaneously to remind us that we are human and that many of our weaknesses can also emerge.
While it is true that by maintaining an emotional state with a negative component such as sadness over an extended period of time, there is a possibility of falling into helplessness or depression, however, this is not something that always happens.
Sadness comes and goes, and even if we try to find its origin, there are pains that have no explanation: they appear for no reason, they are negative moods that soon disappear, when the movement of life touches us again, with its hopes, with their sunny days and smiles that have no explanation, so we have to go a little further in this common emotion that we should not be afraid, in addition, never label it as a synonym for personal weakness.
We open our eyes in the morning and, not knowing how, there is that relentless feeling that takes our minds away and lets all of yesterday’s memories fall on our memories. Sadness dresses us in his cold coat and paralyzes us.
Perhaps you are one of those people, one of those who stay in your bitter silence because they know that if a word is spoken, tears will appear, or they will say, is that nothing? When sadness is all?
Sadness is part of our lives and we can say, without a doubt, that it is one of the most common emotions, and at the same time one of the least understood. No one dares say aloud “I am sad”; Do we always prefer to dress up, wear the mask?
And more than that, if we dare to communicate to someone who feels that way, the most common thing is that they answer us with a “but that happy, life is short, smile!”, It is not very appropriate. Sadness must be understood, and it is rarely solved by drawing a smile on your face, even if we always do. Now let’s look at some of the key aspects that would be worth getting everyone to understand.
We understand sadness as a negative emotion. However, although in most cases it is associated with a drastic aspect, such as a rupture, loss, failure or disappointment, there is not always a “negative”.
The elements that bring sadness are sometimes very clear and were mentioned above: losses, failures, separations, disappointments?
The sad person thanks you for your presence, support and interest, but never say “it’s silly to feel this,” never accentuate a state of sadness with irony.
Farewell to sadness, today I decided to face it, open the window and let go because I learned to be strong, because today I dress with illusions and new dreams.
