i am sad. i am not ashamed of it, because it is true. i am not held hostage by it, because it is only part of who i am. i will protect, indulge and defend my sadness when it occurs or when it comes under attack. I will also defend the right of others to be sad. terror is any church, school, family, lover or boss that tells you there is only pain in living and you can only be happy when you're dead. screw that. i am happier being sad than dead. i have loved and i have lossed. the love and loss that i have will never die. it will only incorporate. the loss i have sustained, survived and am living will never die. it will only incorporate. i will live and love and lose in my own damn way until the day i inflict the ultimate loss onto those i have loved. then will my love and loss be someone else's to incorporate. but my sadness will never end. nor will my happiness ever cease. these are mine. SADNESS is MINE.
I'm a writer / producer of TV, new media and theatre. I have had and have inflicted loss. I have had good days and better days exploding with joy. I see and hear sadness in everything and everywhere I go, and I don't know why, but I consider it a blessing and a curse, but never is it a shame. I live in and am in love with Brooklyn, New York.
