Musings

How can something that makes you so happy be the reason for your sadness? When you have it, you’re happy but in the next moment you’re at your lowest point. It seems almost like an oxymoron. Yet these are the things we as humans crave the most in our lives. Secretly, we desire the things that destroy us. We thrive off heartbreak and disappointment, but we yearn for ultimate happiness. It makes sense then as to why we go to see movies, hoping for a happy ending, but with a plot twist that usually equates to some type of setback and/or loss for the main character. That’s also why we love gossip—we secretly enjoy hearing of other people’s sorrows simply so we can say ‘Gee, thankfully that’s not me.’

People suck.
