I Have Something to Say

Well, I have finish high school. Finally!!!! It had been the best years of my life because I made new friends and because now I am happy. I don’t know what is going to happen next but I know I am always going to be happy. No matter what happens in the future, I know my life is going to be great.

I'm sorry. :( W3lcome to the real world It sucks ass. As you will no doubt find out. Happiness is an innately transient feeling. It cannot be maintained perpetually. The bar is always raised higher and higher. Things that made you hapoy befkre tend to become dull, after you've experienced it enough.

Not to be a downer. Congrats on the graduation. Just, it ain't all sunshine and rainbows out here. Not for anyone.

@Tatsumi Lol.... not to be a downer. 🙄

Tatsumi · 31-35, M

@LyricalOne *shrug* You're clearly not brimming with positivity, either.

@Tatsumi I know that, I was just expressing what I am feeling right now and I know it is not always gonna be that way.

Tatsumi · 31-35, M

@Lucy1010 Good. In that case, happy graduation. ^^

@Tatsumi So you seek to emulate that and shit on the girl’s happiness?

Tatsumi · 31-35, M

@LyricalOne Focus on the silver lining too much, and you'll be drenched in self-deception. Kids should know it ain't gonna be perfect. That life is rough and you have to fight and work to get through, to obtain stability and contentedness.

That's a lot nicer than saying, "Yeeeeah! Everything is gonna be perfect, always! Everything is amazing, all the time!"

I don't choose to enforce people who say they will always be happy. Starting with a false premise will end up hurting them more, in the long run. I'd rather be viewed as a downer than supporting a false premise that will hurt them more in the long run.

The only reason people won't tell it how it is, is because they selfishly want to be viewed in a positive light.

@Tatsumi Geez, you can let the girl have five minutes of happiness. Those lessons will come soon enough.

Tatsumi · 31-35, M

@LyricalOne Like I said. I can't support a premise that will hurt someone more in the long run. I can be more tactful, but I'm exceptionally hungry and exhausted, so that's the best I can do, right now.

@Tatsumi No one asked you to support anything. A simple congratulations would have sufficed. I’m sure she’ll learn the rest, as we all do, without someone shitting on her happiness.

@LyricalOne You're growing tedious. I hope you realize that if I ever see you giving advice or correcting a flawed and potentially damaging perspective, I'm jumping on that shit. "Let them figure it out themselves and just give transient emotional support."

To end, I'll do what the fuck I feel like doing. Thanks.
