Melancholy
August 5, 2008[mel-uh
n-kol-ee] :- a gloomy state of mind, esp. when habitual or prolonged; depression, sober thoughtfulness; pensiveness
One of my favorite lines from the movie Elizabeth Town was, ‘I want you to get into the deep beautiful melancholy of everything that’s happened.‘
Its sums up exactly where I am right now!! I am experiencing that deep beautiful melancholy, however I am experiencing it and trying to avoid it at the same time!!! I am seeking every way possible to rid my mind of ‘my state of mind’ every distraction!
Its taken someone else’s declaration of their breakup with their girlfriend to make me realise that, that is exactly where I am! I am alone, I am finding support within myself, I am in this deep beautiful melancholy, and have been denying it!
No longer… I must allow it… I must let it run its course and not keep running, hiding and avoiding the outcome…. the outcome can only be better for all!!!
