Pro tip to a broken-hearted man

Don’t listen to music when you are sad.

Most people said that in the time of sadness, the beauty of music would help us to get out from a trapped emotional burst within us, then we could be happier after let them released.

Yeah, I agree. We need to let our emotional burst out of ourselves, but still it is important too to ensure that our emotional expression won’t hurt many people, especially our loved ones. But, once we listen to music when the sadness attacks hard on us, what we truly grasp is music as an amplifier of our sadness. The music entertains our mind escalating the past, recalling the painful memories and other bitter truths that bring us to the confusion and anger.

I found another unpopular approach to befriend with sadness.

Sadness is one of the precious moment for us to have a worth talk to ourselves. We sure do not want to disturb that our significance moment in life with something that amplifies only the bitter component of sadness. Music blurs the reality. Instead listening to music, I suggest for broken-hearted man to spend your empty times with walking slowly down the road, talking to your loved ones (family, best friend, etc), deep-inhaling the morning air, sightseeing on cities that you have never visited, then having a quality communication with yourself.

Talk to your sadness, have a chit-chat to your disappointment. You can talk to another you in front of a mirror (while you are applying your skin care at the end of the day probably). You may cry hard in the corner of your dark room in the middle of the night, while talking to your ceiling and your yellow-light lamp while taking them as a loyal best friend.

Talk to your sadness, you will discover a shimmering yet unrevealed part of you.

When someone is happy, she/he tends to be crazy, head full of rainbow, and live above the cloud. But when someone is sad, she/he is able to capture the unseen in life and start to acknowledge what life really is.
