When we're sad

When we’re sad
When we’re sad we search for sad things and listen to sad music because we want to feel understood. We don’t always want to be ‘cheered up’. We don’t want to listen to 'happy songs’ to put us in a better mood. We don’t want to do things to take our mind off it. Because when you’ve been living like this for a long time, you don’t really care anymore. It becomes you. And if someone tries to take that away from you ('cheer you up’) you feel like a part of you is stolen away. And that’s the tragic part. And no one really understands. So when we’re sad we search for sad things and listen to sad songs.
