Ex: painting deceased people simply because they are gone, listening to deep dark beautiful music, Finding beauty in depressing or otherwise ugly things.
I feel very similarly. I like to listen to sad music when I take walks in thunderstorms. Something about feeling sad and looking at everything through desperate eyes makes the world much more beautiful to me. When I am depressed and holding on to life, I see something worth believing in all the little things. Like the trees, the stone walls that are under natures grip with vines and tall grass growing around them, the sewers rushing with water, the urban architecture, The darkness of night that is illuminated by city lights.
I am a really big fantasy kind of guy. I love fantasy worlds and art and movies. imagining a different time and world than mine makes me euphoric and happy. The sadness though, reminds me that I am already living in a world that is full of exotic and fantastical things.
That's exactly how i feel! Some people seem to misunderstand it though, thinking that I am depressed or weird. To me it just seems more peaceful to understand what I have right in front of me, whether it's sad, ugly, or pleasing to the eye...it's just amazing to weigh it all out and not shun things simply because they are dark or "make people uncomfortable" I don't think I could live my life without feeling like something was missing if I did that. I'm glad others understand that too and thanks for the beautiful answer.
To be rattled and not say a word,
or make defense with a meaning,
for ours is desultory,
to not need an excuse,
for little tin men,
to get up before dawn,
or to bed again,
set up many white hats,
along the best shelf,
ticket to the cellar,
don't forget to pack yourself,
I'm often like this too.
It's not in a negative way, it is sort of being drawn to the macabre and the noir - perhaps because it evokes more of an emotional response in me.
I used to be depressed and while I'm not anymore I have always and still find beauty in dark things. I like darkness, rain and sad music.
I'm attracted to darkness and depressed guys who put their feelings into poems, I identify with them since I'm depressed as well.
