It's Okay to Be Okay -- Okay?
It's okay to be okay, okay? I have noticed this trend of EVERYTHING IS AWESOME needing to be the constant state. If it's NOT then something must be wrong with you. I disagree. It is fine to just be fine. I don't understand a need to be in a constant state of excitement, whether it be for positive or negative reasons. It strikes me that this need for constant drama is a dangerous and damaging by-product of the idea. Don't get me wrong; I think it's great that there are people who wake up and jump out of bed just full of exuberance. That's wonderful if it's naturally occurring. Those people are often great examples for people who maybe have a little less pep in the morning to get them going, but I don't think it's necessary for EVERYONE to have this experience. It IS fine for some people to wake up and quietly begin to engage with their environments without a lot of fanfare. Sometimes a "Good morning!!!" CAN be met with a simple no...
