chistinalove asked: Do you ever have those days when you try really hard to be happy and you can't stop your brain from dwelling on the sad? If so, what do you do to remedy the situation?
I used to do that quite frequently, honestly though, for some reason I don’t mind being sad. There are times where I’ve been only a little sad and I decided I’d just go all out and make that feeling more intense by dwelling on it.
It’s a beautiful emotion, sadness.
I found out long ago that I’m rather skilled at controlling and contorting my emotions, I usually know exactly what I need despite not always wanting it.
This may sound strange but in order to make myself happy, I usually turn on a cynical or depressing movie. I usually turn to Igby Goes Down or Into The Wild (unless it’s a relationship issue then P.S. I love you always works). I also tell myself, out loud, that I’m being silly and wasting time when I know that the sadness will pass.
It doesn’t work for everyone and I’ve been told that I’m odd because of it but hey, it does the trick for me.
