"be positive" ugh shut tf up

"Be happy, be positive, don't cry"

This is such a hypocrite statement u know? If you wanna be sad then just be sad, don't try to look happy when you're down cause wallahi it's way more toxic for your self. I feel like people normalize saying be happy when someone is really down. well thank u for those words, 

but instead of saying those, it would be lovely to say things like: 

'you can cry if u want, cause it's okay to not be okay, we're human, we feel emotions, it's normal to feel this up and down in life, you're not alone, this will struggle u a lot, but i believe you will overcome this.'

-num.
