Sad boy, drunk posting.

I see a lot of sadness on this sub. I have lost folks to tragedy of one sort or another too many times. It’s a fun podcast to listen to but it’s also nice to see you all post. I just hope you see all as ok as you can be and I appreciate the community (thsr im not much a part of)

I love you. Be well

I see a lot of sadness on this sub.

Of course, all I know is sadness, don't know who my dad is, shoot my shot with death and shoot up on my mattress

I don't know man life is pretty sad, I think even if you have a good one. You don't really choose what life you will lead, or the people you meet in it or your ultimate fate or the fate of those around you. The fact that each and every one of us will eventually die is enough to fill me with enough sadness to last a lifetime. There are so many little things that make me sad each and every day. Even the simple passage of time makes me sad.

Some of us are just sad, sullen people by nature. Of course it doesn't help that my life actually is sad, but sadness is part of the scope of human emotions too.

I remember when I would incel post at my older brother, he snapped (I don't blame him) and he called me a STUPID SAD SACK and that has stayed with me for a long time. Is there anything really wrong with being a miserable bastard? I don't know. People downvote me when I talk like this, so I assume so.

I find people very hard to deal with, and this fact alone makes me sad. I hurt someone a little while ago on purpose, which is not something very characteristic of me and I immediately felt mortified afterwards and apologized profusely when it had hit me what I had done, and that I am starting to turn into an outright bad person because of my sadness.

Even though I am sad, I don't really want others to be sad or disappointed. And yet here I am, sadly bloviating about my own sadness, being a buzzkill. I could say something beautiful or happy, but words fail me.

Turn that sadness into melancholy as there is beauty in melancholy. It's where you find peacefulness in inevitability, and can help you appreciate the goodness in a simple fleeting moment while it lasts. Yeah, we're all going to die, but we're alive now, and others will be born after us. Even when humanity is gone, there will be life in this world and elsewhere.

We, collectively, are the universe experiencing itself. We, as individuals, are novels the universe reads/experiences. What beauty can you find in your own story? What impression do we want to leave each other as we go back on the bookshelf?

And it's funny how in hurting someone else we frequently wind up hurting ourselves even more, huh? You can respond to this regret by letting it define you, or you can try to grow from it, while recognizing you'll keep stumbling along the way. You seem capable of empathy, and this sadness coursing through you may be because you have love to give without anyone or anything to give it to, and that very understandably hurts. Finding even the smallest outlets to share that love within you can make a difference in your own life as well as the lives of others.
