Unhappy? GET THE FUCK OVER IT.


The thought is a common one, and one that, without a doubt, can cause lots of trouble in our diverse world: “If people thought like I did, everyone would be happy.” Thoughts like these can, in fact, be destructive if people actually attempt to make it so. One example is the effect of communism: in theory, it creates a utopian society. The truth is, however, that it causes more problems than necessary. People fail to realise that people are thinking the exact same thing, but with completely opposite stances. There will always be a large group of people who will stand in your way in your attempts of conforming people to your way of thinking. Humanity being the way it is, something like communism could never exist without an overdose of trouble.

So when I say all that I will be saying for the next couple of weeks, keep my views on this in mind. The way I approach personal dilemmas definitely work for me, but they may not work for you. Even if you do want to attempt to abide by them, it won’t be easy. I, of course, had to experience the suffering first-hand before learning how to deal with them. I’m not sure how unique my methods of coping with typical stresses are, but judging by all the whiny emo brats I see everywhere, it isn’t common.

If you are offended by the title of which I named this mini-series I have begun in my blog…continue reading. It gets worse, and you need to learn to stop taking things so personally. If you’re still too weak to face the facts, or just too narrow-minded to accept another person’s approach, stop reading if you want, but the fact remains that you are indeed weak-minded and not mature enough to handle even the simple rants of a 15-year-old.

Do you even know what this is about? To be thorough but simple, this my version of a counseling-session in blog form. Ideally, it’s for teens who are suffering from typical adolescent troubles, but because this is not an ideal world, there will probably be older people for whom this could be of use too –sadly. But even though reading might feel like a bitch-slap, actually acting upon comes as quite relieving. You don’t need Jesus, or even Freddie Mercury, but you do need to be open-minded and searching for a way to deal with your problems.

While it did help me to have a savior at my side, my newly adopted way of seeing and experiencing things has made me one of the happiest kids you will ever meet. Sure, I may seem a bit downcast at times, but that’s just my melancholic temperament, a phenomenon beyond my control, and something I do not want to change. My mind is a constant carnival, and radiantly whole-hearted smiles are common in my world. Your smile is beautiful; I’d like to say the same about you. Unfortunately, smiling doesn’t seem to be something you do often enough, does it? There’s something tugging at your happiness and pulling it deeper into oblivion, isn’t there? Whatever it is, let it go.

Get the fuck over it.
