A little better all the time

I feel sad today, and I don't know why. But I keep expecting to feel hopeless, and I don't.

We all have days like that. My life is basically going great, things are just working out and yet I still some days feel sad or worry unnecessarily. I think it's just what being human is all about.

You could listen to these podcasts. I really enjoyed them:

I think modern society has this weird idea about how we should all be happy all the time. And that it should be every bodies goal in life to be the most happy for as much time as possible. All this does is make people feel guilty because they can't do that.

Thanks. I'm a bit surprised that almost everyone who responded focused on the "I'm sad" part of the message because I thought I was saying "I used to feel overwhelmed and helpless when I was sad and now I don't."
