I believe in happiness. And that doesn’t mean that life will be “happy” 100% of the time. What I don’t believe in is the toxic positivity that you see out there on social media that demands that we are ALWAYS happy or grateful or we aggressively seek the silver lining. While there is a time and place for gratitude and seeking the silver lining, those emerge when we are ready. If we try to force those things before we are ready then we are slapping a bandage on an open wound. If you’ve ever felt the “pressure” to suck it up and just “be” happy, please listen.
