Sadness

Do you ever just feel sad? Like, for no particular reason at all?
I do, sometimes.
You're probably thinking, isn't that depression?
Nope.

I feel like with depression it's deeper and darker.....with sadness, it's more of a simple pain. Like a single snowflake hitting your shoulder in a thunderstorm. Rain thrashing all around you and yet only a single snowflake. The simple complexity of sadness. I type (say) "simple complexity" because sadness, much like the snowflake, is complex in its own right....but so simple compared to depression. Sadness is like an old friend, depression is the monster that used to live under your bed or in your wardrobe.


Did you know that snowflakes, despite their simple appearance, feature the whole electromagnetic spectrum of light? Isn't that amazing? That something so small and so delicate and so seemingly insignificant is filled with a whole other world of beauty and light. Sadness is like that because without sadness you wouldn't be able to appreciate the happy, joyous moments of your life and I think that that shows that snowflakes and sadness are one and the same.


~My friend is currently telling me all about how Pharmacies and Pharmacology degrees work and I'm not really sure why... I think I asked her something about a story she was telling me but I'm not really sure at this point. I now know a bit more about pharmacies than I previously did~

I hope everyone's having a wonderful night, morning, day and evening :)
