I don’t know what to tell you but try to stay hydrated and give your body some time for the sadness to pass.

It’s annoying but I think it’s probably related to how bad it is for me to read most nonfiction text, because I read it all the time and it’s easier for me to know exactly what people are getting at and what they’re actually talking about in the majority of cases. But I haven’t been reading nonfiction much lately.

It's just been a difficult evening and I'm feeling sad, but you made me smile so.

I don't know what to tell you but try to stay hydrated and give your body some time for the sadness to pass.
