Despondent clown

It seems like everywhere we look on social media and marketing campaigns that the key to happiness is through being constantly positive. The problem with this logic is that positivity cannot exist in isolation, as it requires the opposite to literally exist in the first place. Those who preach this false and cringe premise are the ones who suffer the most from this misconception. Being permanently jovial is metaphysically impossible, so when the melancholy sets in, the only option is to accept it as part of the journey.
