Those who aren’t feeling well

There will always come a time when you are not feeling your best and of course that is okay and normal. You are suppose to have some days when you are not feeling your greatest because you are a human being. You are not suppose to be all rainbows-pep in my step-excited every single day; that’s just impossible when it comes to the chemicals releasing in your brain. The chemicals in your brain give off a certain amount of each chemicals in certain situations when it comes to a healthy brain fortunately. Unfortunately for some, the chemicals in their brains are unbalanced and they may feel more or less of an emotion such as sadness. If there is something that causes a person to be sad, they may stay sad longer compared to someone with a healthier brain.

I digress. If you are not feeling well, that is more than alright because you are being a human being and is letting yourself feel whatever emotion that you are currently feeling that is not happiness. In our society, at some point, being happy was shoved into our faces and making us feel that if we are not happy practically every single day that something is wrong with us or making a lot of people feel that they have some type of mental illness when they probably don’t.

I do stress that if you feel like something could be wrong with you mentally, I strongly urge for you to reach out and seek professional help. Do not listen to those people who say "smile more" and "cheer up". If you feel like you can’t 'cheer up', seek help as soon as you can please.

We as humans do not need to be happy all the time because like I said, that is not how our brains work. I wish whenever they were spreading the word of happiness that they mentioned how okay is it to not be happy all the time. It is more than okay to just be okay; to feel content on some days because nothing eventful happened today.

How can most everyday people be happy and excited all the time when most just go to work, do the best they can, and go home to make dinner? Their days are pretty straight forward. Unless they go see a friend after work, how happy are they going to be? They’re going to be content! They’re going to feel chill or just alright and that is normal! When something good happens, they’ll be happy like if a fax when through without the fax machine getting jammed or their boss giving them some tea because your boss noticed that you might be feeling under the weather. Those are things that make us feel so happy in those moments but once those moments are gone, you go back to feeling chill, calm, or neutral with everything around you.

That does not mean that there is something wrong with you because you should be happy that you are able to breathe the air that you do. That is shoving happiness down our throats when everything around us does not cause happiness. You could get mad at some point throughout your day because you were wearing socks and stepped in a wet spot. You could get really sad because something awful happened to one of your favorite characters in one of your favorite shows. You probably ran over a possum and you feel so guilty that you accidentally took an animal's life so you decided to give it a proper burial at hopes of feeling better and be given forgiveness.

Life is constantly happening and moving forward but not everything is going to make you happy. You will feel angry, you will feel sad, you will feel happy, and then probably perplexed right after because that is how a healthy human brain works. Yes, focus on your happiness and pay more attention to the things and people who try to make you more happy than sad on most days. But do not feel bad when you are not happy every moment of the day because it is okay, nothing made you happy unless something good happened, that you genuinely liked, to make you happy.

I will end things here and remember, everything I say is a suggestion; I am not telling anyone to do anything, I only make suggestions. You are liable if you decide to make the conscious decision(s) of following what I suggest. Please follow me on TWITTER @midnighthuee and let me know who tried shoving happiness down your throat and how you reacted to it.



Try to spread some happiness in moderation, try to do a good deed and until next time, Take Care <3
