"Welcome to real world." / "Grow up."What it really means: "I've got a shitty outlook on life. I want to suck you into my lonely, miserable world. How dare you be happy? Obviously happiness is for ignorant, naive, children who are blind to the pain creeping behind every corner... the desperation in every smile. If you are so happy, perhaps you should work your spirit to death like the rest of us, you goddamn happy motherfucker. You know what?I am automatically assuming that because you are happy and joyful, you must be a lazy shit. With your little jokes, and your appreciation for beauty. FUCK."
Romanticizing your shitty emotions is among the most deluded of all delusions. Telling me "reality" isn't romantic and beautiful is worse.
When it's valid:
- When your friend is hurting himself.
When it's not valid:
- When your friend isn't living up to your standards.
QUICK QUESTION:
Are you happy?
If no: No thanks on your terrible advice.
I seek to be happy without being a burden on others, and doing good.
