At least one positive post in this sea of drowning in negativity on Lemmy. But first comment immediately against it…
why can’t I be weak and happy? What does being “strong” do?
It helps you be there for others when they need it, by learning the signs of people experiencing something you already went through and helping guide them through it better than you did alone.
Edit: Just like this comic!
No one can be happy all the time. Learning to deal with periods of unhappiness is a form of resilience or strength.
Yeah, in an abstract sense I’m going through it all with everyone because they exist, but in a literal sense I’ve been going through it alone and every year I have become more hardened and it sucks. I miss who I was 10 years ago when people were still a part of my life and things were happier.
Nothing causes quite as much unhappiness as the pursuit of happiness for yourself.
