Period of Sadness

It is still amazing to me at times how God always knows what we need when we need it. That’s if we choose to see it. As humans we have emotions and as women we were made to express those emotions. Sometimes people don’t like to talk about their emotions with others or even admit them to themselves. Well today I was sad. There I said it I was sad, nothing devastating had happened currently it was just my emotion for the day. I thought some things from the past and it left me feeling sad.

We normally don’t like to talk about what are considered the bad emotions like being sad or angry. However, they are very real emotions and as teenagers they can be elevated depending on other factors you are dealing with at the time whether it is school, friends, or family. There is nothing with feeling sad it is how you deal with it that matters. God always knows what you need when you need it. For me I turned to my devotional that usually read daily, but had not read for a few days, and what was today’s topic. Celebrating Sadness! Yes can you believe it, I couldn’t. The woman talked about how she was never allowed to show her sadness as a child and that it took a friend to point out that there was nothing wrong with being sad.

Another point that was talked about was that people tend to be at their most creative when they experience a period of sadness. I thought about that it is very true look at the things we love music, books, even some movies come from creators that were going through a period of sadness. So it’s what you choose to do during your period that sets you apart and tells you if your sadness is healthy or not. I thought even to my own past of periods of when I have been sad and some of my best poetry was written during those times. So when you faced with a period of sadness challenge that into something creative, that you will be proud of later. Hey look at me I wrote this blog during my period of sadness to hopefully help someone else through theirs. What will you do?
