i think that sometimes, it is easier to choose to be miserable. either that, or it's some kind of new fad to be melancholic.
come on people, it's not cool to be blue, and remember, life is all about making choices. and we all can always choose to be happy.
go run, go play the sport that you enjoy, sing, dance, learn a new language (my mum's doing that - no prizes for guessing which language she's learning), head to the gym, play some computer - dota if you like to, read, write, paint, whatever.
happiness is indeed just a choice away.
i saw this today, every minute of sadness is 60 seconds of happiness lost. pretty cute huh?
