The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!

It's my sad song. Like the color, my blues come in many shades, and this song captures the full spectrum. The basic down/low feelings. The deeper wallow. The need to wrap oneself tightly in a blanket. The relief of a good cry. The quiet joy of feeling anything at all. (Sufjan forever!!)

So yes, get yourself a sad song and play it maybe two or three times in a row. Or it doesn't even have to be a song, but a something! In my not-at-all professional opinion, it's nice to have a ritual to sadness, like a routine to fall back on when things feel too much. It helps you get the reins back.
