It’s strange how people know something is pointless, yet they keep doing it anyway. Feeling sad is one of them. Sadness does nothing except for draining our energy. Worse than that, it actively makes our problems feel bigger than they are.

Sadness is a snowball. Once it starts rolling downhill, it keeps growing. You don’t stop it. You feed it.

It usually begins with a single thought. Someone said something mean to me. Someone spoke badly about me. Something bad happened in my life. On its own, it’s small. But you keep thinking about it. You replay it. You add meaning to it. And it grows.

The more you think, the heavier life becomes. Everything feels harder. Meanwhile, the truth is simple and uncomfortable: the other person isn’t thinking about you at all. They don’t remember. They moved on. You didn’t.

At some point, this kind of thinking has to stop. It leads nowhere. If something can be changed and it’s within our control, then we should act. If it can’t, sitting in sadness is just self-harm with better branding.

Enough sadness. Complaining is not a plan. Thinking is not action. If we want change, we must do something. All of us have to. Starting right now.
