Just want Sadness?
Hi there. My name is Sadness. I am that heavy feeling you get in your chest when something makes you want to cry. Maybe your best friend moved away, or your favorite toy broke. I am the feeling of sadness, and it's okay when I visit you.
Sometimes I feel like a big, gray rain cloud that follows you around. But even rainy days end and the sun comes out again. When I visit, a big hug from someone you love or talking about me can help. I am here to show you what is important to you, but I don't stay forever. Soon, my friend Happiness will come back to play.
