Death isn't funny. Yes, I've been told I can't take a joke. But that place is a dark place, when you don't want to exist anymore. Believe it or not, I was there once. I'm back from there, though...
But places like that aren't funny. Irony is funny, and I like dry humor also. Witty is funny, though corny usually isn't. But death isn't funny, pain isn't funny, and the darkest places we can go... they aren't funny. They're sad, painful, and depressing - I don't even wish those things on people I don't like. Failure is not funny (except when you can't help but laugh at the irony; it isn't the failure that is funny, but the how or why).
I guess I'm just a deeply serious person under my happy facade. I have a sense of humor, but I don't think everything is funny, nor do I think everything should be made into a joke.
XD Not trying to lecture, just explaining. As I said, I'm a notorious explainer.
That song/poem/whatever... just made me feel deeply for the person who felt that way.
That's the world, I say... but we don't have to like it. You lose somebody that close to you, that's how you'll feel... and it won't be a good feeling, or anything to remember if you make it to a happier place in your life. Just looking back on feelings like that can open wounds you thought were healed.
And the more I talk about this, the more I'm going to open my own old wounds, so I'm going to quit this for now and leave it be... but the reason these things hurt me, is I refuse to go numb. And God has been merciful, and not made me go numb in spite of that resolve.
No matter how it hurts me, I refuse to go numb.
