Lol my one coworker does this shyt while not even realizing she does it. But it's annoying as fukk. Always coming around on some Debbie downer shyt trying to feed off others well adjusted happiness and laughter

Smoke weed, make a beat, edit for my podcast, play 2k, walk outside and avoid the Coli

I stopped trying to cheer myself up and learned how to get neutral. Neutrality is the sweet spot.

Maybe you feel sad or burnt out for completely valid reasons. Maybe you are not living the life that you know you should be living, Constant 'cheer me ups' may be keeping you from actually acknowlding just how out of alignment you are with the actions you take.

Allow and validate the sadness you feel, validate the mental/physical fatigue then come back to center.

Music 100% never failed me

I attempt to look at the silver-lining in every circumstance I find myself in that I initially find untenable. I also take with me the saying,

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

-Helen Keller

Oh and last, I do not seek happiness, because that is an ephemeral emotion that ebbs and flows. Happiness will come and it will go, since that is the nature of life itself. That being the case, I instead seek contentment with myself, my actions, and push towards maintaining balance in my life. I allow myself to enjoy my happiness, by living in the moment when it happens. I do not waste my time pursing it, because doing that also places me in a mental state of concern about happiness when I am not feeling it. Which I believe is a waste of time and effort to be concerned about.
