This article won’t have intro or an outro (even if you consider it has), because melancholy is not something you go in or go out of intentionally. Melancholy just happens, for good or for bad.



For some people melancholy is a synonym of depression. While there are similiarities feeling-wise, the source is not the same.
Some woman once said “Depression is melancholy minus its charms.”

Melancholy is when you regret something you did. When you asked yourself “Why not?” you intentionally or unintentionally missed the tirade of reasons to not do it. Because what you did was beautiful at the moment, was your passion, was your desire, was your happiness. Is this good or is this bad?

Melancholy is when you cry, but you can’t tell whether the reason is good or bad. You say it’s bad, but then a whole movie of memories streams in your head. Good memories. But does that make you cry for good? Is this good or is this bad?

Melancholy is when you are something you don’t want to be… But then you remember that reason to transform into your horrible present state is something that was not horrible at all. Is this good or is this bad?

Is this ballade of sweet sorrow good or bad? Is this the definition of melancholy? I doubt. Melancholy is something personal and unique. It can’t be defined, you define it for yourself through your own prism.

Probably you are thinking about what the “this weirdo” talks about. Probably you have your own dilemmas, regrets, hard choices to make. Probably you keep them to yourself. What is the difference then? What is the difference between having this discussion with someone you know or you don’t and having this discussion in your head? Does this change reality? I doubt.

Melancholy is good and bad at the same time. Melancholy is love and life. Love and life can be good, can be bad or can be good and bad at the same.

Melancholy is a set of feelings. Feelings and emotions are to be expressed, not to be put in the closed under a pile of useless crap in the strive to hide them from the world.

Feel, express your feelings, live. That’s why you are a human! Why are you running away from being a human?

P. S. Before I go back to my melancholy prison of freedom I want to share a few songs with you that were shown to me today. They tend to be somewhat related to melancholy, maybe they are not. For sure they are one of the reasons to write this unneeded peace into the world of eDominations... But what’s the matter….
