Live in the Sunshine
I haven't used this site in a while, and since I'm on break, I thought I'd address something that's been bothering me for a while; self-pity.
Depression is real, it's all over. It's a thing that goes around a lot. We all heard that those who smile the most are also the ones that are hurting the most. I find it ironic that this saying is so popular. People say it all the time, but they're not the ones smiling. They're the ones being totally depressing. I understand that there are times where you feel totally hopeless and crushed. But that doesn't give you reason to go around, making other people depressed. It doesn't give you the right to just let everyone know that you're going through a hard time.
Don't wallow in self-pity. Yeah, I know, you're hurting. Everyone hurts. Lots of people are going through what you're going through, it's not as if you're the only one. I understand that we should act as good friends and always be there, but that does not give you the right to be self-absorbed in your problems. Open your eyes and look around you.
You might say I don't care at all for those who are hurting, but I don't think that's true. I'm just tired of people indirectly complaining. The face doesn't always express the journey the heart is traveling.
So suck it up and live in the sunshine.
