On a whitely cloudy day I get sad, almost afraid, And I begin to meditate about problems I make up.

Alberto Caeiro
About This Quote

Sometimes, we feel sad or afraid. We feel as though we are alone and that no one understands us. That is when we need to remember the great people who have been through the same thing as us before. We need to remember how they felt, what they thought about themselves and about their lives as well as the pain that they went through.

In this quote, the speaker is remembering her past and how she used to feel sad and alone. The speaker is making a point that she is not alone and that everyone has gone through the same thing before.
