I Like Being Sad

We celebrate sadness. And happiness. Not to worry though. This is probably just PMS. :-P Daytime scribbles to a good friend.

gusto ko ang sinasara ko ang mata ko kapag nakikinig ako at pinapakinggan ang kalungkutan ng kanta... i figured sadness sometimes moves me more than happiness. maybe it's because sadness is something that has to be wallowed in. happiness is a cloud-mist-bliss type of feeling--best when shared. sadness is your own. my own. and my own to expel--by painting, writing. happiness has never moved me to paint or write. happiness is something to enjoy and savor--and take pictures of. sadness is something to look back at in some processed form you expel. you release it from yourself, give it away. it becomes a creation, something foreign, something other (forgive me ma'am datuin for using the term out of context. i just appropriated it and made it mine)...

And you know what? When sadness moves me to create, I love it.

and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
i can't take my eyes off of you
and so it is
just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water

the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off of you
did I say that I loathe you?
did I say that I want to
leave it all behind?
i can't take my mind off of you
my mind
'til I find somebody new
