Melancholy |ˈmelənˌkälē|nouna deep, pensive, and long-lasting sadness.
This seams to be an odd first post, but I used this word today and thought it would be fun to see how the Dictionary widget(in dashboard[for you Mac users]) defined it. I thought it was a beautiful description of what it means to be melancholy. It is not ordinary sadness that passes quickly but one that is deeply rooted in one’s soul; it is a sadness that fills one’s thoughts. It is a sorrow that has made your heart its domicile.
A good friend of mine showed me this video. It has nothing to do with Melancholy, but it is really cool.
