What's wrong with feeling a bit unhappy in life? What do you do when you're a bit unhappy? What's the big deal about facing every bit of unhappiness so seriously?
People understand as they reach middle age that negative emotions must be concealed. An adult's unhappiness isn't as simple as losing a piece of candy; it's a continuous state.
There are moments when you suddenly feel so sad, and you wonder how you ended up like this. We all have these honest moments.
We are as fragile as a puddle of mud, but the next day, we wake up and feel like nothing happened. Let me tell you, life is a game of self-deception, and the ultimate winners are all great actors.
Honesty is a good quality, but when it comes to not being happy, it's not something we should show. We may tell our parents that everything is fine, but it's also a way of telling ourselves. When we're not doing well, we need to give ourselves a pat on the back and say it's not that bad.
We need to hold our fists and tell ourselves that things will get better. If you can't even deceive your parents, how can you deceive yourself? As adults, we need to give ourselves a hug.
When you have the strength to embrace yourself, you have the strength to embrace everyone else. |
