The past few weeks have been a huge challenge for me. I don’t exactly know why, but sometimes, we don’t need a reason to feel a certain way. Before I get into the letdowns of life, I want to first talk about happiness and sadness, and why the two go hand in hand. If you already think you know what I’m going to say, then you can skip past the next paragraph.
The number-one emotion we try to get rid of and stop feeling is sadness. This is obvious because no one likes feeling sad. Unfortunately, I believe that this emotion also ties back to happiness. We all love being happy, otherwise we wouldn’t call that feeling that we feel “happy.” We would label it melancholy or neutral or some other word that is obscure but relates enough to what we feel that it makes our complacent selves feel more in the know of what we don’t know about the being inside us. Now, with that said, how often do you try to shake off other emotions? It’s not done very often. Jealousy, anger, and happiness, are just some examples of emotions that we don’t always try to suppress. Perhaps that is because we feel like these are things we should not contain. We should not be forced to contain our disdain (song title, anyone?) with anything…
