Added 2023-07-09 21:16:53 +0000 UTCI just read an NPR article talking about how people who are optimistic in their lives actually tend to live longer. We're talking 85 years and past. I think this is a great lesson for a lot of my friends and colleagues and even my fans on this site. Instead of focusing on the negative; the drama, and the occasional bullshit that we deal with, try to think about the best things that have happened to you on here.
Realize that we're all in this together to a certain degree and that if you don't try, at least try to be happy in your life than there's no point in having a heartbeat. In no way am I saying that that is a good way to fight against depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders. What I am saying, in the words of Monty Python, is 🎶"Always look on the bright side of life"🎶
