Goth Kid: "Yeah. We're gonna go to the graveyard and write poems about death and how pointless life is.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Butters: "Uh, uhm no thanks. I love life.”
Stan: "Huh? But you just got dumped.”
Butters: "Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid.”

This is one of the most beautiful scenes I’ll forever remember. I think this kinda rationale my silly habit to romanticize sadness- that I take that sadness more as a reminder that beautiful things indeed happen though it is sad that it’s over, but the memories are valid. And that means, in the future, I can feel that again. And that is enough to keep me going (:
