I read this on Craigslist and I was taken back by it.... I know how these people feel 100 %.... so read and enjoy for yourself:

Babe, some days drag. Sometimes I just don’t feel up to dealing with the “big bad” world. I feel sad and don’t quite know why. I look outside and the whole world just seems so disconnected. And I can only wonder why people have such a hard time just being gentle to each other. Gentle, tender, sensitive – these aren’t qualities our society generally admires. Ruggedness, toughness, enthusiasm – these are seen as good. And that’s okay, but some days I just want quiet, I just want to be held. Some days I do feel just like a little girl, looking out at the world, not understanding why we’re moving so fast toward nothing, not understanding. Some days I just want my island to feel the sun on my face, the breeze through my hair.
Some days I am very close to the knowledge that everything could disappear in an instant. So, some days I just want to be quiet and look at the clouds and feel all the good things, because sometimes the sad overwhelms my vision. And often, we don’t have time to sit down and figure out why we feel the way we do, because the world just keeps moving and we have to move with it. Work piles up on our desks and we must push aside and keep moving, too. Some days I just need to hear you say “I Love You” and hear your adorable laugh and imagine your smile and imagine that I’m in your arms and the world outside is very far away. That’s all, babe.

I'm not sad often, but moreso lately than ever before.  So 5 days a year instead of 1.  But I feel this person's pain and lament.  I want to hug them and sit and watch the clouds with them... they have been beautiful lately.

I've been sooo rugged for so much of my life, I'm really tired of it.  It takes too much effort to be so.

Positive update, I have 5 weeks editing "Driving Force for A&E."  I'm excited, it will be fun and a new credit to boot.
