Sadness. Beautiful, painful, necessary sadness. The greatest contradiction that has ever contradicted anything. How do we ease sadness? We embrace sadness as we embrace a warm hug or the sunlight at the beach. Doing this so allows us to be vulnerable and learn that sadness is almost as or even more so important than happiness.
You don't become happier by forcing happiness. You become happier by embracing sad. To become friends with a gloominess that most people stray away from.
That's why the songs of a broken heart and words written by a flattened soul attract already sad breathers of air. For pain to be ripped from our beings we have to embrace robbery. The robbing of the pleasure of surpassing our struggles and conquering our demons.
For this pleasureful feeling cannot be accomplished without the aid of sadness and pain.
