Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that's important—you know.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
