The Two Kindness of Sadness
There are two kinds of sadness.

The first arrives unexpectedly at your door. loud and brazen, it demands to be felt in all of its being. It carves a hole in your heart, leaves you breathless, curled up on the bathroom floor. But there’s a certain beauty in this sadness, a devastating tsunami that reshapes your world. Like the pandora’s box, it brings hope in its wake. It’s the kind of sadness that inspires great art. A story of our fragility and endurance. Sometimes pain is what makes us human.
The second is tricky to describe. It’s quiet and a bit sly. It may arrive in a gift box from a lover. or a heritage passed down generations. Once it finds you, it takes hold. like a fungus mycelium, everything it touches starts to rot. It’s corrosive and toxic. The kind of sadness that can take years to realize. A freshly painted ship, rust eating it from inside. It leaves an imprint, forcing you to carry it around.
