I asked Sam if he ever got sad. Just, sad. No reason for it. Maybe a move triggered it. He isn't looking forward for the future. He wishes his arm didn't hurt so much. You know, just sad. Blues. Moping.
But he looked at me like I was crazy. Like feeling disappointment was such a weak, unhealthy thing for a person to do.
I had thought that everyone felt upset or slightly discontent every once in a while. For a minute. Each month. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I get blue over too many things. Like elephants without tusks. Or racism. Or college versus romance. Or Fitzwilliam Darcy moving away. Or a lost friend.
It is in my belief that feeling sad here and there makes happiness more memorable.
side note: then, I was listening to his elder brother's music and his lyrics show that he, too, gets sad here and there. And he's a happy, fun guy. Maybe it's just when he's around people, but even faking happiness has its truths, right?

Faking happiness gets you nowhere.
you're allowed to be discontent for a minute each month?
holy crap, i'm screwed.
in all seriousness though, being discontent every once in a while makes us strive to better ourselves, which certainly isn't a bad thing.
I had a dream about you.
What was the dream about?
@TorysPlace - What was the dream about, if you remember?
I love you, always. :3
