"Be happy." Not "(Pretend to) Be Happy." When I'm upset, I try to find something, however small, to make me happy. It's... hard, but it's good for me. I'll eat. Or read an email. Or just listen to a good CD. I start gaugeing my days in what's good, and while that isn't always a high amount... I try to enjoy what I can. I never thought it was bad advice, but that might just be due to the fact that it worked for me. And it's not always 100% effective, but it's at least something I keep in mind. When I start drowning with this crap, I get dragged down more if I sit around thinking about all the bad shit. And I still don't get lots of things resolved at once. In fact, I've got about 3-4 things looming over my head. But I had a can of ravioli 30 minutes ago. And I looked at some fucked up stuff on the Darwin awards page. Solutions are being plotted, whether they're successful or not. I for one, refuse to cut my hair. It's become such an annoying issue with certain people in my life, that I am tired of hearing about it, and have ceased to care about their opinions on it. Call me Diogenes. They'll get over it. Bottom line? Make yourself happy. --k-- Hippa to the Hoppa and you just don't stoppa. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
