Sadness finds you easier than happiness
People often say that happiness will find you, but I personally think that it's easier for sadness to find you. It's easier because it manages to sneak up on you in the darkness, right when you think that you've made it through, it opens a giant hole in what was once solid ground. The kind of hole that you never even know is there until you go to take another step and all of a sudden you find yourself standing over air. The world around you passes by and blurs into colour and sound. Nothing around you makes any sense, as you continue the plummet towards the unknown and you can't even remember how it started and don't know when it will end, but you would give anything to be able to stand up on your own two feet again.
Sadness is that feeling to me. When the falling doesn't stop, it begins to sap your life of meaning and all the good things that make life worth living. When you finally hit rock bottom and you look back up at the sky, the only thing left to do is cry.
People all yell out "Save yourself," calling out things about "happiness" and "hope," but they're too busy with their own lives to realise that it would be a lot quicker if they just let down a rope.
