What Does It Mean to Be Bittersweet?
Bittersweetness is the state of appreciating life through longing, grief, and nostalgia. The term was popularized by Susan Cain, the author of Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.
How to Know if You’re Bittersweet or Sanguine?
If you’re an old soul energized by the beauty in nostalgia, you are bittersweet. But if you’re a young soul motivated by hope, you are sanguine.
Some describe bittersweetness as an artistic melancholy, the shock-receiving capacity vital to create. But it’s also described as the place where light and dark meet—a tranquil state of mind that greets both the positive and negative.
But there’s also an in-between stage, where the bittersweetness and sanguinity are equal. Such a balanced state belongs to people who equally enjoy the beauty in sorrow and the joy in optimism.
