If you expect to be happy all the time, you'll be very disappointed with your life because that's not how our lives work. We're meant to experience different emotions and learn from each.
It's okay to feel sad or even angry some days. Don't beat yourself up for feeling it. Accept it and if you really want to get deep, ask yourself why you feel that way and see what you can learn from it.

I like to think I'm a generally happy person, but I definitely have days that aren't all rainbows and glitter.

@2Wheels i beats myself up cause im a perfectionist, everything right , and what happens i messes up .
Im afraid to feel feelings . I run from them all the time and then my mind takes over . I ends up crazy then .
I wakes up every hour at night time from very bad nightmares

@riseofthemachine I just took this from a book I'm reading. Thought it was fitting for here.

"All of our emotions have value, and as unpleasant as some are, they’re reminders that we’re alive and have a whole lot going on inside. Why not approach life with curiosity and wonder, instead of dread and fear."
- Humble the Poet

I hope you can find a way to calm your perfectionism even a little bit so you can enjoy the beauty of life more.
