Do you know that feeling? Everyone reading has a feeling in their head right now…. so what is it that you are thinking about? This feeling is stemmed from the roots, a feeling you become used to. This feeling can stem from running through a grass field, the cotton about, twirling in circles as smiles erupt. It may be a feeling of happiness.

However, some of you may feel sadness. Sadness is an emotion that is more complicated than happiness. Sadness is something that we do not like to feel. Unlike happiness we try to find the root of the cause. We try to understand where it is coming from. Yet many times we receive no answers.

This is something that I have become used to. That many of us have become used to. I know many of you have to. We all wish we had the answers to everything, especially ourselves. We all know that we can be happy, because we have all had that feeling before. We have all smiled. We have all laughed. We have all felt the euphoria that derives with happiness. We have all felt it.

Think of quicksand. The sadness is the sand. It wants to eat you alive. The slow sink, the happiness we endure before it wins.

Who are you sadness, and why cant I get to know you? Why are you so complicated? Why are you so confusing? How can I defeat you? Sadness is complicated because it brings on many other negative emotions. Things we hate. Things we wish…
