Cowboy Up!
One third of me admire them for being so open in such a public kind of thing, another third of me wonders why they would want to expose themselves like this, and the last 1/3 of me is aching to ask, why does everyone keep writing like that?
One person after the other. It's like a penyakit yang sedang merabak.
Especially when some of them are doing it so often.
It feels so.. something.. to be the Very Emo Kid, doesn't it?
Aww, c'mon. Life's too short to spend it this way. Need a cure for tears and the blues? I've got a foolproof way.
See that MSN display name? Click it, change it, quote any line from any of those feel-good songs, like Beautiful Day, or It's My Life.
Or, see that Blogger Post-It? Click it, type, write about something that's at least relatively cheerful. It helps take your mind off things, and better yet, it's like a reminder to yourself. Reminder to not sulk.
Background Chorus: "F+ck you Chooiyen! I am uber sad and Emo and you will never understand me! Nevah!!"
Look, all people go through things like that. Being falsely accussed by someone really dear, being confused about who you are and what people think of you, being one-minute-sad, one-minute-happy, one-minute-VERY-DEPRESSED over that Teenage Crush thing, feeling insecure about what people (or more specifically, your friends) think about you or if they really would "always be there", not being trusted by people YOU trust, wondering if you're being what's expected of you...
I'm beginning to sound lame, but point is, everyone has been through that at one point or another.
Background Chorus: "Surely you're not saying we cannot be sad because everyone has been sad before?"
I don't mean that, of course.
Happiness is there. You just need to Cowboy Up and get it.
"Cowboy Up", because the world ain't gonna stop and come to you, but you have to COWBOY UP and go get what you want. (Cowboys and lasso-ing stuff, see?)
I know that MSN display name method and that Blogger method may sound like just another name for the Lying To Oneself, Pretending Everything's Perfectly Fine method.
Well, maybe they are. But what the heck, it works anyway! So why question a fool-proof way to success?
I know it is foolproof, because it's tried and tested, by me. So if you see I've got an exceptionally gay-and-happy nickname on MSN, know that I'm either really exceptionally happy that day, or I'm having the blues.
It's probably the latter, but Fish It, who cares, I've got a sure-fire way to overcome it!
