What if emotions, bliss and melancholy had a conversation? I Story By Avani, 14, Bangalore
Avani, a 14-year-old from Bengaluru, writes an imaginary conversation between two emotions, Melancholy and Bliss, as they reflect on their nature and relationship to each other.
What if emotions, bliss and melancholy had a conversation?
Melancholy: I often wonder if sorrow is truly negative. I find it
calming, even beautiful.
Bliss: Isn’t that your role as Melancholy—to find solace in sorrow?
Melancholy: Yes, but there’s something about releasing emotions.
About letting go, that brings a sense of peace. It’s almost…
blissful.
Bliss: Blissful? That’s my domain.
Melancholy: I know. Maybe our emotions aren’t mutually
exclusive. Maybe they’re intertwined… but that sounds weird.
Bliss: Maybe not; I can relate to what you are saying.
Melancholy: I suppose it is a sad kind of bliss.
Bliss: Maybe we aren’t as different as we think we are.
