I think that at one point in time or another, all of us have been sad about something. Sometimes the sadness is brought to us by our very own selves, sometimes by other people or other external events, or in the case of a lot of women... monthly hormonal imbalances. I'd just like to share something I've written on one of those sad moments...

There are those moments when you're all happy, expectant, and excited about something but everything gets twisted and you end up sad. Then you realize that your little bursts of happiness have been there all this time to cover up for the sadness that was actually building up inside. And it's the kind of sadness that you wish you wouldn't have to go through but at the back of your head, you know it's also the kind of sadness that makes you grow more as a person.

And then you tell yourself that in time, everything will just fall into place.

That's when we get it wrong. Things will not fall into place until someone does something. More often than not, that someone is you.

From the very start, we were wrong to expect too much I guess. Expecting too much leads to disappointments. Hope, on the other hand, is different. We hope and we remain happy.

Aren't the hopeful ones the happiest persons around? Ahh yes.

My expectations end here. I am now hoping.

I'm actually truly happy today (and no, this is not bipolar [manic-depressive] disorder). This just serves as a reminder that all forms of emotions are to be acknowledged and embraced. That includes sadness and maybe being sappy at times too.
