Avenues away

We spend our entire lives consumed with who we are, but there is a lot to be said for who we are not. You, whoever you are, are not me, nor am I you. As much as you may want to be, it is likely that you are not a happy person and although you may argue that it is easier to classify the unhappy as sad, I believe that sadness is the lack of happiness, not the accumulation of a different emotion. The greatest unhappiness leaves its victims feeling empty, lacking. How often have you heard a discontent someone say that he feels like he is "missing something" or has a "hole in his heart"? I assume it is much more often than he claims to be "filled with sadness" or "heavy with grief". You cannot "be" sad. You can feel sad and you can think sad thoughts but in order to "be" a sad person, you must understand that you are missing happiness.


Also, this is an old picture from a few days ago which I spent with three amazing friends. Forgive me, but I like it better than where I am right now.
