I've learned that I'm the kind of person who needs to mitigate any mood I'm in, with a happy medium. If I'm sad, it doesn't make me feel better to surround myself with happy things… in fact it often makes me feel worse. So I surround myself with a hopeful sadness - songs that feed into the loss or dismay I'm feeling in that moment, but attest to the ability of life to pick up and start again once the crying is over. For example, david grey's songs are my weakness… say hello, wave goodbye is one of my default sad mood songs… it's lyrics say enough.
So for now, until all is said and done, I will listen to david grey, and surround myself with images of meloncholy. Trust me - it's a good thing. It's a reminder that other people have felt this way, and other people made it through, and I have felt this way and I have made it through. And it won't be so bad tomorrow.

"Say Hello Wave Goodbye"
Standing at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain | It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again | You and I had to be the standing joke of the year | You were a run around, a lost and found, and not for me I feel | Take your hands off me, hey | I don't belong to you, you see | And take a look in my face, for the last time | I never knew you, you never knew me | Say hello goodbye | Say hello and wave goodbye | We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me | You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you see | I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that's going to be played my way | Say hello and wave goodbye | Under the deep red light I can see the make-up sliding down | Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown | As for me, well I'll find someone who's not going cheap in the seams | A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails | Say hello and wave goodbye [repeat]
