Screw that, that's for chumps. It's for you to be happy!

And then what?

You know, there is a bunch of people outthere to explain to you how to not repress negative feelings.

I have yet to find one to explain how not to repress the positive ones.

Really. Some of us do that.

Pain is rather easier to deal with that happiness.

It's a much more common problem than I thought, I found out when I was doing my therapy (but didn't suffer from it too much myself). I did hint at it: "where they write when they feel good (or when they feel bad, depends on the people), and don't really write when they feel the other way".

This "writing what I feel" regimen was very strict, skipping even just one day was very much frowned upon, and if it'd be all bad or all good, there would be some questioning as whether really did NOTHING of the "other" kind happened.

Not all that easy!
