Adverbs of manner

The word sadness originally meant fullness.

To be filled to the brim with some intensity of experience.

It's not about despair or distraction or controlling how you're supposed to feel.

Setting the focus to infinity and taking it all in joy and grief all at once.

Feeling the world as it is, the world as it could be.

Closeness and distance and trust and the passage of time.

And all the others around you were each going through the same thing.
