    A year ago I had an episode of depression and one of the symptoms, quite common in mild depressions as it turns out, was that I felt confused about positivity and negativity of emotions. I listened a lot to your "too bright" and "too sad" songs back then, and I think it helped me in a weird way. It was as if you, with these songs, expressed how I felt. In the end, I think now I understand better that feeling sad can be a good thing sometimes.
    Thank you
