Sadness
Emotions Some people desperately seek out happiness in the wrong places, only to come by more sadness and disappointment in their search. But when they finally realise where true happiness lies - from within- they feel at peace. And that is when they figure out that negative and positive emotions go hand in hand. Though no one want's to feel sadness, sometimes it's actually a healthy emotion to feel. Sure, most of us at one time or another have wallowed in self-pity a little too long and a lot of us have found a weird comfort in being unhappy. Perhaps holding onto sadness can make you feel like you're still connected to that person or situation that you don't want to let go of. Maybe it's because you won't feel disappointed if you're always unhappy. Sometimes being in a negative state of mind can actually be addictive. And even though we don't fully understand what emotions actually are we know that they are definitely important for human function. Just try not to get stuck on one emotion for too long.

When I Say Self-Esteem
Recently I have come across a few Facebook posts where people are saying they have such high self-esteem and they're sick of others telling them to love themselves because they already do. They try to prove it by posting selfies and letting everyone know that they know they're really attractive. Yet when you look at their previous posts they talk about how insecure they are with their bodies or some other features, how needy they are, some even go so far as to put themselves and/or others down. One person even asked a group on Facebook if others could comment and like their new profile picture to show their ex that they are indeed 'hot' and 'popular'. Now I'm not here to judge, I'm just observing. I think it's great to have high self-esteem, but is it self-esteem or ego?
