Melancholy

By Emerson Patricio

Melancholy. It is defined as a deep, long-lasting sadness. Everyone has felt what they perceived to be a deep, long-lasting sadness, but few ever go far enough into this sadness to live with it. Or, perhaps, they ignore this negative side of themselves. Whatever the case may be, this book is written with the intention to show that there is sadness that lingers inside the hearts and souls of many. It is not written so that this sadness may be celebrated but written to show that one is not alone in feeling them.

Written in a way that is straightforward, yet analytical, somber, yet understandable, this book is one that will give you the feeling that someone does understand what youre going through. Someone does know what its like to hurt, and it is expressed in many forms. Whether it be through sadness inside of you, or sadness around you, you will find that this book contains the pain that you feel and want to end. Though this book offers no solution, it serves the purpose of being a comfort, because in reading can you understand and in understanding can you be there for someone who has yet to find someone who understands their pain.

Annette Lopez

Thank you for giving me the willpower to complete this book. Your enjoyable laugh and wondrous smile always kept my spirits up. I will be eternally grateful that I was blessed with your presence and even more grateful that I was able to talk to you, someone whom strikes me as interesting. I pray that your smile never fades, and I pray that no one makes it happen. I also pray that you remain the strong, independent woman you are. The impact you have made on my life is one that I will always remember and carry for the rest of my life.

Acknowledgements

Is it possible to give enough thanks in the world to those who deserve it? I honestly don’t think so; especially when they deserve so much more. I have the most amazing people in my life and I am beyond thankful and blessed to have them all in my life. I don’t believe that I deserve to have such amazing people bless me with their presence, but they do. So many people who deserve such high praise, yet even all the words one would wish to use to express thanks to them in every possible language would not suffice. My dearest apologies to them as this is all that I can do at the moment, even though it is nothing compared to all that they have done for me. Their encouragement, as well as support, will never be matched by any amount of gratitude I show them.

Evelyna Thomas: Thank you so much for all that you have done and continue to do for me. I know that I would not be anywhere close to where I am at without your guidance, and pushing, in the right direction. Thank you for always lecturing me each night and telling me to make you proud. Thank you for raising me with both an iron fist and a soft heart. Thank you for making every effort to make my life well-structured. I love you.

Bennett Patricio: Thank you so much for always being my hero. Thank you for always giving me the time to bond with you. Thank you for always showing me that there is so much in the world that I have yet to discover. Thank you for always showing me what it’s like to be strong in mind, body and spirit. I love you.

LaChanda Patricio: Thank you for giving me the guidance I would often seek. Thank you for being the one who listens to me when no
