Negativity is a very easy thing to feel, and a very difficult thing to live with. Similar to a lot of people, I’ve had times in my life when I’ve been walking around with hate in my heart and a bone to pick with why the world has to be like that. Ultimately, though, I’ve learned that existing like this is no help to anybody — least of all myself. 

While it would be silly (and impossible) to avoid feeling bad altogether, it pays to make an attempt at happiness every so often. Maybe it will falter at first, but with a little persistence most of us can see some results. We don’t even have to try that hard when we’ve got wholesome memes at our disposal. They remind us that the good moments are plentiful, but we have to make the effort to appreciate them. Scrolling through these is a decent start.
