Petal of sadness.

Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple, to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation, though, the wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try and will ourselves to states of bliss, the more confused we get to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead, we just keep smiling, trying like hell to be the happy people we wish we were until, eventually, it hits us. It's been there all along. Not in our dreams or hopes, but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar. Life is all about sacrificing. To make you happy or to make someone happy, you have to sacrifice something.
