I think your point of view of sadness is pretty interesting as a lot of people tend to think our generations are more depressed than any other before us. It’s funny because elders tend to make everything about a lazy and self-conscious generation but I like to believe that as all animals we all have empathy. Indeed at differents level but I feel like at some point there is this bond that makes a lot of us empathic even if we have different lives and experiences, maybe the secret of living together is this capacity of being empathetic. As you’re not alone with this melancholic feeling that all young generations tend to have, maybe you can find beauty in it
I like to think that even if all that remains is dust, something in the air will tell we were here. Does it matter who bears witness? If we love, and have been loved?
Sadness is beautiful because it reveals to our eyes all that is hidden deep inside: pain, despair, scars, heavy secrets... melancholy makes us appreciate calmness and makes us accept the duality of life... sorrow, sadness and pain are part of Who we are. It is beautiful.

Try to do your best despite the current struggle and hindrances. It's ok also to slow down, take some deep breath, stop and reflect a bit. Follow your own agenda keeping in mind the most important is your mental and physical health. We are not supposed to be perfect therefore I don't think we are weak if we are surrounded by darkness, maybe we need to make the darkness some kind of "friend" we manage to tame in order to find back the path of light. Anyways Take care of yourself.
Reading it, it's deep. I think about things too. So much going on, not knowing which way to go. Holding onto to what? Make a person give up easy, but to live, live for yourself and for the one you love because death can come at anytime.
No because I feel this. Like I haven’t been sad, I just listen to sad songs. Sadness is contagious, and that’s why I try to stay away from a lot people.
I‘ve always had a strong bond to melancholic feelings and always thought there is a very raw form of art intertwined with melancholy. Just like there is light in the dark of the night. And your writing just proves this. There is something really calming and heartwarming about this text driven by melancholy.
I'm always a positive person, even though the last couple of years have been difficult and sad: I've always looked at the brighter side of life: like living life to the full and loving everyone and everything around you as much as possible. We maybe insignificant in terms of the planet, but we can do a lot of positive work to ensure what we do for the planet and each other is significant
That's great, we have to acknowledge the sadness too, I do, but a try and put a positive spin on it, if I can, sometimes you need to be sad and reflect before bouncing back
Very well put and very relatable. It really is as if everyone my age has decided to collectively say fuck it, let’s do whatever makes us happy and content while the world burns around us because it feels like it’s been burning for most of our lives. I mean…shit I’m 24 and was only 3 when 9/11 happened and ever since it seems like it’s been disaster after disaster. I feel like it’s made me numb. I’m sure others could say the same. “Fuck it, let’s waltz while the world burns.” That quote will definitely stay with me I think.
Whenever i feel this way, i have a thought that maybe having a morning routine to stick to would help…. but i never go through with it because I know the next morning I’ll once again be scrolling away with the same heaviness of the initial feeling.
I don’t have a solution but if you are interested in some advice I was told once by someone that if we feel like shit we should give ourself a break, rot in bed if we have to for as long as we need till we truly start questioning what is putting a weight on us and stopping us from living our life as we want to. It sucks to wake up every day and feel the same shitty way you did yesterday but everything starts from the inside of us. Sometimes it can be fun to explore our darker side, we get to understand a lot of new things. Don’t give up yourself to the heaviness and i know you may have heard it numerous times by other people but things will get better you have to keep that positive thought in your mind. And never forget you are not alone there is always someone there for you :)
fuck it, lets waltz while the world burns is definitely making an appearance in my journal
I need it tattooed on my face
I will if you will 😂 lol
Live for as long as you can, love as much as you can. We're all going to die, make the journey to the grave as loving as you can.
Bingo

Didn't realize I needed to read this until I read it.

I know it might not come across as such, but I also count myself as a positive person.
