This is for everyone who is trying.
I have seen the world in all its rawness and darkness and beauty and goodness and I have nothing but respect for everyone who is plodding on despite all the odds.
For the past years, I have come to know so many people who are battling their own demons. There are so many “sad” people in this world. I use “sad” as a generic term for all those afflictions, all the different forms, different depths, different hues of darkness, different types of demons. The kind of sadness that drowns. The kind of sadness that leaves you with absolutely nothing else. The kind of sadness that incapacitates. The kind of sadness that makes it impossible to look forward to anything. The kind that looks at all that the world has to offer and feeling nothing but emptiness. The kind that creeps in so suddenly there is nothing you can do to stop it.
And even though I have been there and I still go there many times, there really is nothing concrete that I can offer to stop it. But I’m here. There are people who understand, in some ways, maybe not all of it, but some. It’s not enough, but maybe it can be that tiny thread that you can hold on to when there is nothing else.
Hang in there, you’re not alone.

i believe not a single individual has not experienced being “sad” but each individual differ in the way they deal with that creeping sadness trying to drown them..It is enlightening that most of them were able to get out of their misery and realized that while there is life there is hope…
Yes, people experience sadness in different ;levels and different ways in different phases of their lives, and handle things differently depending on their situation, their support system, in what stages of their lives they are, among other factors. It’s important that we have at least a thin line to hold on to during those times, maybe in the form of family, support group, church, faith, friendship, even our journals.
