The Oldest Sibling Always Knows Things That

I Would Hate To Think I'm Promoting Sadness As An Aesthetic. But I Grew Up In Not Just A Family But A Town And A Culture Where Sadness Is Something You're Taught To Feel Shame About.

To Me, Sadness And Humor Aren't Disrelated And Humor Is The Best Tool I've Had Against The Sadness In My Life.
