when sadness swallows you in a room full of people and you feel lonelier than ever.
when you’re overwhelmed with a flurry of emotions but can’t quite describe it with words.
when having no expectations means the smallest shred of hope has no right to exist
when preparing yourself for the worst is not enough to keep yourself from hurting
when things are over and you know nothing will make it better
when you look longingly into their eyes and you’re speechless because you’re in awe of the beautiful person that they are
when you get the sads in the middle of a show because you haven’t properly processed your personal shit before being consumed by work
when you need to drown yourself in loud, trashy music because you need to escape from the world and not feel for one night
when you feel the only way to get over someone this time is to get under someone else
when you feel empty but full, full but empty
when “letting things go” is never as easy as it sounds
when you’re homesick while travelling for work because all your friends are back home, but when you’re home all your “friends” are too busy to hang out with you
when your happy place doesn’t make you happy any more
when you cry tears of sadness singing all the cheerful songs
when you’re in a state of perpetual sadness
when music cannot cheer you up
when you’ve lost that sense of community and belonging
