You know, I used to have to put up with that, but then I finally just said **** it- people are more understanding, and can tell if you re having a tough day, or whatever- **** the people expect you to be happy all the ******* time, it's simply unnatural! Especially with all the harrowing things going on in the world, sometimes it's hard to find things to even be happy about in the first place- except of course being happy that those we love are still alive and well . . . . . that's what I try to focus on, that and the resounding thought that things will get better . . .
