Toxic Positivity

Maybe most of us annoyed by others when we down, I want to reply "don’t bother me or stop cheer me up!" Yep that kind of feeling is exist nowadays. We can say it as toxic positivity. 

So why we should avoid our feeling? Sad or happy are the same level of feeling in life. We can’t living a life only with happiness. God must be crazy if pouring too much sugar in ground. A bit salt and sour will color our life. Our feeling is true, we can’t denied it. Try accept and embrace the tears and heal with the time being.

Regarding my own story, our culture never teach me how to accept failure, how to normally sad in moment, and how to handle our own feeling. So we afraid to feel bad and try to bash it. Or even always push happiness to low or depressed matter. 

No matter how, we will face the truth that there will be rainy days, cloud, storm or light. Not always following with rainbow, but sometimes with flood or strong wind. Accepting the bad weather or low condition is a blessed. We will be grateful to be survive and get stronger tomorrow. We will grow taller to the sky and ready for next journey with deep root like coconut tree on the shore. 

Talking with dearest or closest friend are solution to help our crisis passed, but only our soul that can make it trough the time. Hold on, keep it with your self is ok, as long we don’t make it worse. We can pause, take a breath, walk alone, and count the stars we see on the night sky. Life is wonderful with day and night, the dark won’t make a shade for the sun. We will get enough time to finish this life, no need to rush or make a race. I and you have different start, have different trail, have different distance. I wouldn’t compare it. 

Not our mom, our child, or our ancestors. Our lining is a bit high but lower on the rhythm, it can be sound good but not enjoyable. It can be sweet but not tasty. Serenity and peace of our heart is the key how to be harmony with the sound of earth. Money, greediness, and plastic beauty will be ruined by the wind. Only kindness, loyalty, and the one who can accept miserable is the champion. 

Be BOLD Be Satisfied Be Yourself!
