Why are you sad?

I texted my sister saying that I am sad and she replied me asking me why. I tried thinking about why I am sad, but I just can't. I just felt sad without knowing. Have you ever experienced this? Sometimes, we just have no idea what the cause it.

Probably I was stressed out which lead to sadness. I know when I'm stressed out. My detector is gastric pain.

But I realised one thing though, it somehow is related with having people around me. When they are people around me, I tend to share my burden with them. They tend to take care of me too.

I always thought that I was the one who took care of others, shared their burden etc. but it turns out that I was sharing half of my unhappiness/happiness with them too.

I thought that I was strong, but I guess I was strong because of the people around me (those I care about). They shared half of my burden and I theirs. I guess this is the best meaning of a relationship to me. It works in a way that we never notice. Sometimes when you're with someone, you tend to feel better, more at ease, That is how sharing a burden feels. It's not whether that person wants to carry the burden for you or not. It's more to you wanting to share the burden with them or not.

When someone's giving you a breather by helping you with your burden, somehow, things don't seem so bleak. A breather is sometimes all you need after carrying the elephant on your back. If we live having this idea that I can never let this elephant down on the ground or pass it to someone to help me, how do you think we would feel? My guess is that we will feel very suffocated, the stress will only increase and never decrease.

Thank you for making my life bearable :)
