Sadness speaks to me most at night. It lays atop me as a bitter lover, easing me to sleep with sorrowed lullabies. It has become a companion through my days, tugging occassionally at my leg and at my mind. Not once does it take a break or leave my side. Its suffocation now provides a familiar comfort, because I have become a cynic from the truth. Truth that sadness is real. It is not fleeting, nor is it false. I find solace now, in this dear friend of mine. For happiness never stayed long enough to prove its loyalty to me.

“ So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.” - Christopher McCandless
