Description everyone feels sadness, but have you noticed some people can't seem to stop feeling it? for them, for us, it's a lingering notion that's always there. in every thought, in every step, in every breath.

some people don't understand how this can be. they think we only want attention, they think we only want to feel sorry for ourselves. and i'm sure there are plenty of people that just do that. but, there are the ones like myself... that learn to live with the sadness and the feelings and urges that go along with it. we may express it or we may hide it, we may embrace it or we may curse it. but whatever we do, it's always there.

there was a time in my life when i thought that somehow i could make it go away. i thought that if i could grasp certain things, it may vanish. if i had someone to help me, it would leave. but with time i learnt otherwise. i learnt that i was alone when it came to the sadness. no matter what anyone said, it was always there and it would always be there. so, you learn to live with it. in the best ways you can. you try not to let it take over, you express it in ways you can, it becomes part of you.

i doubt i will ever be apart from it. i don't hate it, but of course i don't like it.

don't dwell on the negative. you don't want to get lost in its abyss.

don't get mad or frustraited with people you think can help it, because some of us cannot. don't hate what you don't understand. just try to learn. try to be there. a kind shoulder or a nice hug will always help. so will a nice conversation. about anything and everything.

this piece is for the sadness that always lingers inside me. and nothing more.

That is beautiful...

And I know that sadness... that hovering discontent... it's here now, it may wander off for a while but it will always return at some point...

It's comforting somehow though, perhaps cause that's all I've known and it's familiar and therefore a security...

When I get my head around my meds properly I hope not to need my blankie so much - having seen life without it I really hope I can do it.

Your strongest ally is your self

I can honestly say that I know what you're feeling I still haven't learned to live with it, I guess Im still in denial, thinking some day it will go away. Very strong and beautiful words.

i think a lot of people honestly know how we feel. it does help a lot when you sit down and realize that it isn't going anywhere. its then you can talk to it and learn how to be yourself with it. does that sound insane? ha, but it is the truth. i think one of the reliefs of like realizing it and being with it, is you stop fighting it. and fighting always takes up energy. (i said 'it' a lot)

insane? no, it acctually makes perfect sense. Fighting does take up a lot of energy but until we realize that no matter what we do it wont go away then that's when our battle ends.

What a beautiful way of putting it.

The picture itself has a very sad tone to it, from the pensive but melancholy expression to the contrast in light and dark. Very nice, tender work.

This photo breaks my heart, hon. I mean, it's so emotional to begin with but your words in the description just pushed my tender-heart buttons a little harder. I think we all feel that way at one or two points in our lives. I know I did but I was able to move through it. I suppose a part of it still hangs on and refuses to let go because it does linger on my thoughts sometimes. I guess I just wanted you to know that I understand. There are no words to describe just how awesome this pic is. It doesn't cover anything up, it lets all that emotion out without a protective cover. I think that is amazing.

don't let it break your heart, just let it touch your heart. thank you for your support always, it means a lot! it's good to have friends and support on this journey of life. hehe i don't think we'll ever stop learning and adjusting to things like sadness and all its companions.
