but only sometimes. one purpose of this blog is to show people that their pain isn’t individual. in fact, a lot of the feelings we experience or the things we have had to tough it through are extremely common. & although i love to give some peace of mind to all of you, i also need it from time to time.
i asked yesterday if you guys ever just got sad for no reason. & if so how often. i asked because i was just driving along and wanted to cry. dont know why. i’m not depressed. i was just sad. (& my life is at a freaking all time high right now, too). maybe it’s the gross rain. maybe it’s just because its a wednesday. maybe it’s because i was alone in silence. whatever the reason, i was sad.
thankfully, the responses i got from y’all were hecka reassuring. almost every person that responded answered “yes.” looks like we are all just a bunch of sadboiz.
i didn’t write this post because i have advice on how to get rid of this feeling, because i dont. (i usually just ride it out because the sadness typically only lasts for a few hours). but i did write this post to tell you how much i appreciate knowing i’m not alone. reading comments, dms, and answers to my questions makes me feel less weird. less alone. & for that i am thankful!
*this post is not about depression & is not meant to trivialize the very real pain suffered by those with clinical depression. this post is about the temporary sadness that can overcome us on occasion.
