I used to think that when I felt sad I should listen to melancholic music, nothing more absurd than that. It's like when we feel disappointed or are going through pain caused by love then we decide to choose the saddest songs with the cruelest lyrics to remind us of our misfortune.

I think that's part of our self-destructive thinking. Feeling worse than we already are by hearing more sadness all around us, because of those thoughts I had in the past, today I see things from another angle and feel more alive. Music is an excellent motivator for our mood if we want to be happy we should listen to very happy music and dance and sing happy tunes but if on the contrary we want and wish to cry and feel the worst in the world, the most miserable in life then we should listen to music that reminds us of the betrayals of the human being.

What would you choose to feel happy? To cry to the songs or to celebrate with them? In my current time, I reject sadness I always choose to be joyful. I always choose to wake up and be grateful for the new day even though everything is coming at me. Nothing is eternal, not even bad situations are eternal, everything passes, everything has a cycle and we must learn to respect them, wait patiently doing what must be done to avoid falling into regrets and move forward.

You can also smile when you are sad but it is not ideal. The thing is not that we should smile if we feel bad, no, it is not that, the thing is that we must let this feeling of sadness pass as far as it reaches but without extending ourselves to it. Because life goes on, you know? Life does not stop because we are sad and we cry, or we complain, it continues its course.

That's why we must get up, wash our faces, and keep going forward, towards the new destiny to follow and the frank smile will appear again with what you get along the way, God will surely put flowers on your path and accompany you while you are in sorrow.

Be brave, life goes on with or without you. So take advantage of the magical moments we have to show that we are alive, that we are not dead wandering in a valley of sadness.

Remember that God always takes you by the hand when you are sad to make you come out of your melancholy. He always wants us to come out of the suffering fast.

So I ask you... even knowing that He is accompanying you in your sadness, are you still sad? No, I don't think so. Live, be happy, and always go forward hand in hand with God.

You know, when I started writing this I was a little sad because of the things I hear happening in my country, writing all this has lifted my spirits. Thanks to you who read and comment on my posts.
