A LETTER TO MY SADNESS

 Hi!

 I hope you are feeling good because you visited me thrice this week. It was not great to see you! Whenever you are around it feels so bad. Happiness was here, a year ago when my best friend was alive…but from the past twelve months you have been hugging me so hard, it hurts. Whenever I’m trying to sleep, you’re always patting my head. You are now a part of my life, a best friend who always shares your time. And when I say best friend, I really mean it. You and I seem to know each other very well, and though many people say we don’t look good together, sometimes I like it that you’re around. It’s because you have this way of luring me in and making me feel at home with you. You’re smart enough to know how to hold me in the strangest situations and ruin them and that’s the thing I hate about you the most. 

But all in all, I’ve spent too much time with you now to hate you. I wouldn’t say you’re the best company but sometimes I like it when you’re around. Feeling you makes me feel sane and human sometimes and I want you to know that. But today I just want to say, I need you to leave me for some time and let me be on my own. I can’t stay in the same state of mind for this long and I hope you understand. 

Not looking forward to your response! Your favourite, Zoha Fatima
