When you’re sad, most people see you as weak, because you’re exposing your vulnerabilities (everyone has them), and that is all they see of you... even if there is a hidden side to you, a little spark of madness, that only shows itself in certain situations amongst folk you are comfortable around.
But the one thing, in their patronising way, they overlook is how you have the courage that they don’t — that is the courage to show your soul in a matter-of-fact way.
The world at large will never learn this, no matter how edgy and progressive it wants to sell itself as.
