Bittersweet... such a strange word. It gives a peculiar feeling... kind of antagonistic, really. These strange moments can only be described quite simply with bitter and sweet. Recycling those old notes that you spent countless hours on is just so hard, knowing the effort put into them, but it's just so easy to trash them, knowing that they will no longer be used for studying. That moment you walk out the school doors for the last time before summer break and you know you're free. It's so precious and those memories, the people, the comfortingly familiar objects will never be forgotten. Then, the bitter, hard things surface in your mind and you remember the hard times you'll be escaping from.
"Bittersweet" cannot be fully put into words; it is a state of mind, an intense emotion, sometimes hidden deep inside.
Yes yes yes! It's such a peculiarly peculiar word...it can only be described as a piece of happiness or joy that is tinted with...bitterness :D It has as million layers that are hard to reveal-great post!
