A Guide To Sadness: Part 1

As per title suggests.


Prologue


When sadness extends its hands to you and you don't know what to do, let it touch you. Let sadness invade the immeasurable depths of your soul, let it ignite like a fire spreading through your veins. Let overflowing sadness wander in you, sleep dreamily in your tears, your fears, and your secrets. Embrace sadness like it is your lover and your beloved, but also let it torture you with misery and melancholy, so you can understand the true meaning of sadness. If sadness leaves you, and you are no longer sad, then you are happy. But if sadness decides to stay, let it comfort you with its sadness, let it make you sad with its thousand shades of sadness. Overwhelm yourself with sadness -- it will bring you euphoria but not joy, it will relieve you from pain it won't leave you. Don't try to love sadness because it does not know how to, but accept sadness like a familiar stranger, so you know what sadness really means to you.
