Sometimes I Cry

Like pretty much everybody, I want the good feelings, not the bad feelings.

It’s natural to try and escape from, alleviate, dissipate, positivitize, apply therapy to, drink to forget, take pills for …. the sadness.

But if it’s there, it’s there. Sometimes I Cry.

I don’t wish it away, run away anymore, when it surfaces. Never far from the surface I would say, and hasn’t been for a long while. But it helps (I mean it helps) to acknowledge it, no more or less than any other feeling, sensation, or experience.

It needs to be acknowledged. And somehow that’s enough.

It passes, and something else will surface soon. It always does.

nb. This kind of “solution” can look depressing, to anyone who suffers from depression. No answer at all. “I don’t want this pain”. But don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. And keep on trying it. I think you’ll be happier, if you do.
