Feldman-Journal+2-The+Blues

“The Blues” Journal Reflection I chose to write about “The Blues” mainly because the blues can be dissected into both physical states and emotional states. Also, I was able to use my own personal examples of the blues that I have first hand encountered in my own life. In my eyes, the blues is not only an emotional state, but a physical state as well. When a person is feeling blue he/she feel sad and melancholy emotionally. While physically, the blues can sometimes make a person feel tired and groggy. The blues for me is the feeling of just not wanting to do anything and that everything in the world sucks. This is very close to the literal definition of the blues, which is a state of depression or melancholy. If I had to think of one thing that gives me the blues, it would have to be thinking of what my life used to be like when I lived in Northern Virginia. I start to miss all of my old friends and the good times we shared, which causes me to become depressed. Another thing that truly gives me the blues is when I think of my late friend Jordan Paganelli, and all the good times we had together.
