  "Ever felt like the world is just a giant, gray blob? That's sadness for you. It's like this heavy blanket that wraps around you, making everything seem pointless. School becomes a drag, and hanging out with friends feels like too much effort. Sometimes you just want to curl up in bed and disappear. But then, maybe you listen to some music or talk to someone, and things don't seem so bad. Sadness sucks, but I guess it's just part of life."
