Needless to say, my failed attempts to fix my sadness simply brought me more pain and suffering.

What I am trying to say is that when you stop trying to change yourself into something you are not, you give yourself the gift of discovering yourself as you already are.
I had run out of hope.
Without resistance, sadness has a sense of beauty and depth I cannot find otherwise in life.
And the sadness?
So if you are sad - like me - then be sad.
