Sadness.
A sad thing in itself. It’s a hard emotion to deal with, and yet one of the most commonly felt. If you were asked to think of the first emotion to come to your head, after happiness, you would say sadness. Or at least that’s been my experience of it. Not just because it’s the opposite to happiness either, it’s an emotion that everyone can relate to.
Today we had to farewell another year of gorgeous girls from our school. And it was awfully sad! They were crying which made me cry (I’m just a bit pathetic, I know), and I really don’t like the thought of not seeing them every day. It’s nice to pass people you know in the corridors and exchange smiles during the day. And sure, they’re going on to bigger and better things, but it’s still a little depressing don’t you think?
But then you have to put things into perspective. There are worse things out there. I just wanted to say that I’m really sad to see them go, and I wish them luck for the future. Is that too corny?
And I would also like to say good luck to the girls going away on trek. I am going to miss you SO much, you have no idea. 5 weeks without you is going to be awful, but I can’t wait to hear about it when you get back

NOW ONTO SOMETHING HAPPIER
Because happiness is just a much nicer feeling, and I am thanking my lucky stars right now because I feel like I am generally one of the happiest people around. My life is great, and I’m grateful for it! I go to a great school, I have some of the best friends anyone could ever have, and I can’t think of anything I would change about my family. And writing about this makes me smile, because it doesn’t take much to instil happiness. And having a normal, healthy lifestyle is just enough for me.
What also makes me happy is MUSIC.
Top ten songs:
1. 80 Miles-Washington
2. Sounds of Silence-Simon & Garfunkel
3. Lover/Soldier-Washington
4. Sigh No More-Mumford and Sons
5. A Message 2010-Coldplay
6. Song of the Century-Green Day
7. Psychokiller-Talking Heads
8. Coolam Yodim-Ehud Banai (spelling issue again? foreign songs are haaaaard)
9. The Logical Song-Supertramp
10. Shiny Happy People-R.E.M.
Now I didn’t want to brag so sorry if it turned out like that. I just wanted to show that every force has an equal and opposite force. For every sad thing you can find a happy thing. You don’t have to look for very long. You just have to sit yourself down and think. Think of the amazing opportunities you have that anyone would kill for.
Today was sad and happy for me, and I needed a cheesy, corny post to show it apparently. It’s interesting to see all the different emotions we can feel. The opposites that work together to create us as people.
It’s just twisted logic.
