People hold their sadness like a security blanket. Does it feel good to have it wrapped around you, never to let any warmth or happiness inside? I wonder, is it just fashionable to be sad 24 hours a day? We live in the next generation of madness. Everyone needs their pills to be different from everyone else but if everyone is different then doesn't that make them the same. Of all the friends I have I can think of none that are actually truly happy. I mean with such a short life that you have, how hard is it to just take the bad and try to make something good. Always it seems, someone most wrap themselves in sadness and focus on the pain and misery of life, a good time may come but not today.
Why? Is it because you had a bad childhood? No significant other to tell you how pretty you are? Did a bully beat you up in 5th grade and you still can not give over the pain and trauma you underwent when you were hung from your underwear atop a flag pole?
I'm sorry but the childhood is in the past, I'm sure it was traumatic but you can't have it back now. I'm sure dwelling on it is the logical solution since you've been doing it for this long but then you'll have to ask yourself. Does realizing you had a bad childhood and reaffirming it everyday to yourself really establish your role as the saddest human to ever live on this planet? I mean someone out there might have something even worse than a sad child hood, so maybe it might be better to search for something else to laminate your role as the truly sad kid.
The significant other blues. I know more people who are sad because they are lonely than any other problem that constantly plagues our world. Well there's probably a reason for that. No one wants to be around a sad moody person. Yes a catch 22 if I ever saw one. You are sad because you have no one to love you and hold you and make you jello, but no one wants to love you and hold you and make you jello when the only you they can ever see is the person who is depressed, moody, always a flaw in something. It is possible but improbable, how can someone love you if you don't love yourself?
Past is the past, that's why we no longer have our grasps upon it. Reminessing is fun, but it serves no purpose of helping your future. Learn from mistakes and try to make a better future but thinking hard enough will not change the past. I know depression is hip, I know that it is such the fad in the early 2000s but all I'm saying is does it really make you that happy to follow a trend?
But by all means your life is your own, who am I to try and make a difference. I was just never much of a fad follower.
