Sad Songs

I was lonely because I thought I was.

I was sad because I loved sad songs.

I feel better now that I stopped singing.

           We have the tendency to wallow in our emotions. When we are sad, we do things that could make us even sadder. We watch melodramatic shows; listen to devastating sad songs and worse, we think of even more desolating ways to pull ourselves deeper into the pits of solitude. We aggravate the already bothersome sadness flowing in our system.

           This should not go on forever. We should know when to turn off that sad music so that we can appreciate the beauty of even more delightful songs in the playlist. If we can make ourselves sadder by the day, we can also make ourselves smile after the rain or even during the rain.
