thanks to sadness


there are moments where i am overwhelmed by the shortness and fragility of this life i am living. in these acute moments where every fiber of my being feels desperate, it is like an unbearable weight, and all i want to do is run to those that i love and hold them as long as i possibly can. as if feeling their tangible bodily embrace could keep me from losing them; every second, every minute, every day another day they are closer to just simply not existing. today is one of those days. beautiful and poignant, with just a tinge of sadness. how, ever, did sadness get such a bad rep, when it connects us so purely and humbly with what really matters? today is also one of those days where i am humbled by and grateful to sadness; just another facet of experiencing our lives in the short span we are offered.

Sadness sometimes bring people together like deaths and funerals...but for someone who experiences sadness and don't know why, it's the loneliness feeling slowing killing that person inside.
