In the absence of a should, I was free to be as I am.
So if you are sad - like me - then be sad.

I had run out of hope.
Without resistance, sadness has a sense of beauty and depth I cannot find otherwise in life.

Be who you already are.

Now, this may sound like a story of failure and giving up, but it’s actually a story of liberation.
Needless to say, my failed attempts to fix my sadness simply brought me more pain and suffering.
It wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I finally fell out of that ferris wheel of trying and failing to fix myself.
