Happiness isn't all it's cracked up to be. Bright colors aside, it seems just like lies and disappointment; the meadow that's really a plateau before your cliff. Don't try to force yourself into happiness. Don't take pills, don't follow religions. Embrace bitterness and spit in the dirt and harden your soul and become the antagonist. Sacrifice yourself for safety. Happiness shouldn't be a pathetic attempt to please others. If one day, you walk into laughter, then do smile, don't smother happiness, but if you're sad, be sad and break and create things. Don't deny yourself the pleasure, oblivion of pain. Sadness is a weighty reminder of worthlessness, and that's an individual's greatest gift: insignificance. Eat up your trauma and destroy yourselves, milking emotions. Happiness is hard, fleeting work. Sadness a warm stone to lie on. Sure, depression is ridiculous. Those high kids moping, dragging their sight against the ground; it surely is funny to the centered mind; the displeasure seems so uncalled for. But everything should be uncalled for. Depression, a surprising, enveloping shadow. Laughter, the little stumble in your steps as you trip. Each with its own benefits and worth. I?m not saying to make yourselves unhappy, but don?t refuse it, it?ll just make things worse.
