It's okay to feel sad sometimes. Sometimes you want to relish in it a bit, get the feelings out after holding them for a bit. Sometimes you don't even want to, but you do anyway. It's okay to sit in the dark and have a drink, or sleep for a really long time and close all the shades. Sometimes life is hard, it gets rough, it's never gonna be smooth the whole time.

But you can't do it too often. Take a day (or weekend), get it out of your system, indulge a bit but not too much. It'll be okay, it's not a problem. Sometimes you just gotta go with it and roll with the punches life sends you. Some problems can't be easily fixed, but others can be tended to I guess. Have a beer, get some nachos or something, listen to sad music for a bit, take a long shower late at night. Do whatever, but don't let it keep you down forever.
