I feel like there is this unspoken pressure, especially on FB, to be HAPPY ALL THE TIME!!!! and it's refreshing to know that there are others of us who are happy but are also sad sometimes too. <br /><br />Of course I hope for you that the tough days speed by quickly and you arrive at some brighter ones soon, but I wanted to say that I never want to minimize the sad times either. I was talking honestly with a friend the other day and she said, "Oh, you're just in a negative place right now," and while it is true, I find myself in a negative place more this year than, say, last year, the way she said it was so dismissive. Like, whatever I say right now can be largely ignored.<br /><br />Anyway, this is getting long, too long for a blog comment, but I just wanted to thank you for the honesty, and I hope you can ignore the people who will try to minimize your pain and ignore your complaints because "you're just in a negative place right now." It's unrealistic to expect us to be positive constantly (what does that even mean? and is it even desirable? or is it self-delusion?).<br /><br />Much love.Erin Seabolt Bondhttp://www.erinseaboltbond.comnoreply@blogger.com
