Hey @Boxmore 🩵

I couldn't agree more. The way you've articulated these thoughts is so amazing 👏

It is SO normal to experience the emotions you've mentioned. It is so unrealistic and quite frankly impossible to be happy all the time - and that's perfectly okay. It also normal to experience these emotions different to other people. Maybe I feel sadness for longer, and it take me a while to process. Maybe someone else feels anger a lot more deeply, and has a harder time dealing with it.

Emotions are so subjective and always changing, so you are right - the pressure to be happy is a bad thing. While we can always try to live a more positive life, please allow yourself to feel these negative feelings!!!

To anyone reading this, you are valid and you are loved! Thanks again boxmore for a such a brilliant post 😇
