Thinking about this quote from Home x Toni Morrison a lot lately.
"I can be miserable if I want to. You don& #39;t need to try and make it go away. It shouldn& #39;t go away. It& #39;s just as sad as it ought to be and I& #39;m not going to hide from what& #39;s true just because it hurts"
"I can be miserable if I want to. You don& #39;t need to try and make it go away. It shouldn& #39;t go away. It& #39;s just as sad as it ought to be and I& #39;m not going to hide from what& #39;s true just because it hurts"
I talk occasionally about how much I dislike forced positivity and "good vibes only" mindsets + my personal feelings about cheering people up
(I don& #39;t do it because sadness, anger, frustration etc are valid emotions that don& #39;t go away just because someone told you to cheer up)
(I don& #39;t do it because sadness, anger, frustration etc are valid emotions that don& #39;t go away just because someone told you to cheer up)
And a lot of times I avoid telling people things because wo much of this positive vibes only shit exhausts me. It sound like avoidance. It sounds like you don& #39;t know how to deal with someone feeling anything other than happiness (even if the happiness isn& #39;t even real).
So you& #39;d rather me fake being happy because sadness makes you uncomfortable. That isn& #39;t emotional support
I don& #39;t want to "look on the bright side" sometimes. I don& #39;t want to "think of the positive!" sometimes and I damn sure don& #39;t want to hear about how other people have it worse so I should be happy.
Sometimes I want to be fucking sad until I& #39;m not sad anymore let me do that.
