Everyone always says that it is up to you to make yourself happy. While I believe this to some extent, I am not sure that I totally buy into it. After the death of a loved one, are you supposed to be a-okay the next day? When a natural disaster strikes in your community, are you supposed to immediately get over it?
No, I don't think you should be bitter your whole life over something that happened when you were two, but there are just some things that are really difficult to get over. Why should I have to be happy all the time, and how can I make myself happy if I am constantly being put down? Sometimes, life just sucks. Sure, I can fake a smile with the best of them, but why should I always have to?
To be honest, I am not just talking about deaths and natural disasters. I am talking about friend problems, heartbreak, rejection, feeling alone. I am talking about the little things. Sometimes, I just want to be in a bad mood. If crying makes me feel better in the long run, then why not? As long as you do not become a generally negative, pessimistic, bitter, cynical person, I think occasional bad moods are healthy to an extent. If you never feel depressed, angry, lonely, devastated...then how will you ever truly appreciate when something good comes along?
