more sadnesses

inspired by these, I'm adding some more of my own.

SADNESSES OF TIME. sadness of not having enough time. sadness of having too much time with no one to spend it with. sadness of giving away your time in exchange for money. sadness of waiting.  sadness of autumn. sadness of spending the night in a hospital. sadness of lovers being in different time zones. sadness of wasting time. sadness of looking at pictures of yourself with your best friends when you were young.

SADNESSES OF GEOGRAPHY. sadness of borders. sadness of immigration laws. passport photo sadness. sadness of moving away. wanderlust sadness. sadness of traveling alone. homesickness. sadness of friends moving away. sadness of trains. sadness of facebook photos of friends in exotic locals. the sadness of migrating birds. sadness of looking at stars.

SADNESSES OF COMMUNICATION. sadness of waiting too long to write an e-mail. sadness of waiting to be written back. sadness that the right words don't seem to exist at the moment. sadness of telling a joke poorly. sadness of knowing what to say but not having anyone to say it to. sadness of talking to your parents from far away. sadness of saying something in anger. sadness of not knowing where an old friend is and wanting to just say hi, i miss you. sadness of keeping a secret. sadness of crying in front of a stranger. fake-orgasm sadness. sadness of avoidance. sadness of interrupting. the sadness that comes when someone asks how you are and there's no way of really telling them in one sentence which is all they're really asking for, but you wish you could convey it anyway.
