I totally get what you mean @chbartist. It's always a struggle for people to look on the bright side. Sometimes I find myself spiralling down, but I'm aware enough to pick myself up and continue my journey. Not easy but it's the things I do every day that keeps me positive and sane.
I guess the only way is to know where you put your energy to. I myself will always invest my energy wisely - be it in people, situation or projects.
And that has helped me even though along the way, I've stopped hanging out with certain people. And that's ok. I know it's because I love me, myself and I! To me that's respect! And more positivity for me! :)
Keep up the great posts!
