Poppy here. It is 3AM where I'm at and I have been doing my regular trawling on the interwebs trying to learn something new, have a laugh or two, or maybe completely change the way I think. (Okay, right now I'm trying to avoid too many life changing epiphanies, because I've already had 5 this year! I mean, come on, don't want to loose complete touch with myself and my reality.)
However, trawling around I find out so many people are depressed. WTF? Why? We are in a day and age where we can be who we want and do what we want. Sure we have responsibilites and obligations, but they really are choices! We choose the crappy job or crappy house... I mean, shit, we don't *have* to stay.
Alright now I know what you are probably thinking, "Poppy, you don't understand. I really don't have a choice or say so in..." Hell, I don't have full 100% control. Soon, my alter ego will be waking up to start the work day over again and want to do chores and shit. But, when I'm out I do what makes me happy. I don't care what other people think.
Whenever I am sad, I look at what is making me sad. There are ways to fix it. If you hate your job, update your resume and look for a new one. If you hate your house, save up your money and buy a new one. If you hate your family cut ties with them. (Hell, I did that for 6 years and they were more well behaved when I returned.)
Why be sad and cry and mope and write emo poems and garbage? I mean does feeling miserable make you feel happy? No? Then get off your lazy ass and do something about it! Anything! Even a slight change can bring on happiness. Update that resume! Start writing that novel! Stop talking about what you are going to do (major pet peeve unless you are actually doing it) and do what you say you are going to do!
I can think of about 10 reasons to be sad right now. I can think of 1000 reasons to be happy. I will post my gratitude list at a later date. But now, I must go and
CARPE DIEM!!!
