the blues.

i have discovered, in all my infinite wisdom and old age, that there is a true difference between sadness and depression.

I have felt depression. oh, how i have been depressed.
but sadness, that is a whole other ballgame.

depression is a cloudy, foggy, heavy thing – sadness is sharp with a light quality. sadness feels real, where depression feels like you are watching yourself live your own life.

i much prefer sadness. it has honesty about it.

depression is what results when you are trying to refrain from feeling your feelings.

so, from here on out – i am feeling every god damned feeling that rises up in me.
