I’ve been having a hard time lately and I really wanted to abandon the day but instead I’m saying hello to the bus driver with pink puffy eyes I’m letting tears fall freely onto the park bench I’m staring despondently out the sandwich shop window
It’s not about romanticizing your sadness. It’s actually not about you at all. It’s about the unusually colored pigeon and the dad and son throwing a football while they walk down the street and hearing Chaka Khan’s My Love is Alive blaring from a modded 2003 Honda civic that will, even if it’s just briefly, pull you out of the cave.
Allow your feelings to interact with the world. Find reminders of what life was, is, and can be beyond and within these feelings.
Go for a walk, enjoy the taste of your salty tears, and when you’re ready, lay down in the grass until you’re itchy enough to remember there are sensations other than this dull ache. Then buy yourself an impracticality large bottle of water. Maybe go see a movie by yourself.

Lately sadness has been visiting. We’ve talked about why they‘re around, and I understand. They can stay as long as they need.
I don’t need them to change, or leave. They’re with me while I’m making waffles with my son. They’re with us on our trip to the record store to buy a gift for my sister. I make space for them when it’s needed, otherwise they’re just another part of the gang. It’s not a problem to be solved. Their existence just requires an expansion of loving to wrap them in. Sadness deserves kindness and gentleness, too.

Sadness is the prerequisite for happiness. Let yourself feel down when you don’t get that job, allow the tears to flow after a breakup. You won‘t be able to feel the joy or gratitude in better moments without remembering those that stung the most.

So ok when I was a child running in the night — afraid of what might be hiding in the dark, hiding in the street, and what was following me — the hounds of love were hunting me! I've always been a coward! I don't know what's good for me. Oh, here I go... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!!! Oh, help me, someone, help me, please!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I found a fox caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, it beat so fast, and I'm ashamed of running away. I mean, from nothing real, I just can't deal with this... I'm still afraid to be there. Among the hounds of love. And to feel your arms surround me. I've always been a coward and have never known what's good for me. Oh here I go... don't let me go... hold me down... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!! Help me, darling! Help me, please!!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I don't know what's good for me, I don't know what's good for me... I need love! Your love. And take your shoes off and throw them in the lake. Do you know what I really need? Do you know what I really need? LOVE!
