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

Make lists of gratitude
Feel the sunshine
Move your body
Cuddle with a stuffie, an animal, a person

Treat yourself as if you are your own child, and you are your own mother.
Be tender with yourself.
It might take time, dear, but the light always comes back.

Iâve been having a hard time lately and I really wanted to abandon the day but instead Iâm saying hello to the bus driver with pink puffy eyes Iâm letting tears fall freely onto the park bench Iâm staring despondently out the sandwich shop windowÂ
Itâs not about romanticizing your sadness. Itâs actually not about you at all. Itâs about the unusually colored pigeon and the dad and son throwing a football while they walk down the street and hearing Chaka Khanâs My Love is Alive blaring from a modded 2003 Honda civic that will, even if itâs 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.Â
Go for a walk, enjoy the taste of your salty tears, and when youâre ready, lay down in the grass until youâre 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.Â

How do y'all navigate trough sadness?
Just curious. Sadness is an emotion I always felt was a constant in my life, paired with anxiety. I deal with it. But sometimes it really sucks. Well, I mean...right now, in this very moment. Because I'm sad. Now.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE đ

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. Iâve found that as healing goes on, just as itâs shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time. Â
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of âthis is what is, how can I make this work well for me?â Everything works out for The Fool because they donât know it canât. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesnât stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what ifâs! The Fool is in the moment!
