I get so emotional, baby, every time I think of you!

Every day, we feel different emotions. It’s easy to forget the times when you feel peaceful and focus on the times when you feel totally out of control, because strong negative emotions are much more memorable than boring positive emotions. 

It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to fester in your own negative emotions. I know firsthand what it feels like to think negatively about myself around the clock. You have to work hard to feel positive and good about the world, but negative vibes come to us without even trying. It makes sense because if you have a defeatist mindset (constantly thinking that you’re trash, that the world is going to the dogs, and that very little can be done about it), it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unfortunately, we are the only people who can pull ourselves out of sad ruts, but we can only do that when we’re good and ready. Sometimes, when you’re sad, you don’t want to waste energy trying to get happy when you’re unprepared. It’s not always so unhealthy to bask in the sadness. These emotional memes are perfect for crying to if you’re in the mood.
