Sadness can be a gift

Yesterday, I arrived to the Canary Islands and checked in into one of the most beautiful apartments I've ever stayed in. But instead of feeling joy, I felt a bit of sadness.

WTF??

"You should be happy" a voice inside of me muttered. " look at all of this beauty...". However, I couldn't help myself but feeling some kind of sadness.

In the past, I may have ignored the feeling or go for a run, or drink a glass of wine, or something. This time, however, I stayed with the sadness until it dispersed.

When the emotion began to fade away, clarity kicked in. This beauty wanted to be shared. Not just a photo but in person too.

Although there were still a lot of question marks scribbled on my map, the overall message was pretty clear: Life is more meaningful when shared.

And for that I am grateful for the sadness that befell me.
