The sweetness of sadness

Have you ever been so happy that it made you sad?Okay so, random. I'm in love with sadness. Like, I'm immensely intrigued by it...I try to understand what makes people sad. Why they do certain things when they're sad. I try to figure out the stories behind brilliant songs that are created from a sad place and time. There's something so raw and beautiful about sadness. When you're sad, you're open to being vulnerable. I can connect to that. Deeply.

"I have found that the saddest people are also the funniest, and only those who understand complexity can communicate simplicity."

A while back I was on a blog and Harmonie Du Soir by Haruka Nakamura was playing softly in the background. I turned my speakers up and replayed the song over and over and over again until I was literally consumed by the sounds. I felt everything and nothing at the same time. It's weird. Like, being really happy because everything is seemingly going your way, but sad because...what if it ends?[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/9089106" params="" width=" 100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
