This is counter to how one should use such a communication tool, I think, but I woke up in a dark mood today and am inclined to talk about it. But, I woke up in a really light place a couple of days ago and shied away from talking about it.
I think this might be some creeping cynicism: viewing positive emoting as phony and relaying the negative as real. That's not healthy.
@jdb Hi jdb, I don't think this is necessarily cynical. Rather, I think we (humans) tend to reach out to others when we need support or reassurance. We don't tend to do that as much when we are happy or satisfied. I know that I personally tend to share my challenges, hoping that others may help steer me into a better place. I don't need that external support when everything is sunny and satisfying.
Just my two cents.
@jdb I guess the only thing I can think of to say about my "two star" days is that mercifully, we move through them to better days. We can try not to look back over our shoulders to the dark days and look forward to the brighter ones. I hope you have a five star day tomorrow.
@Kent Sort of how we review a restaurant, I guess. More likely to post on Yelp if things went poorly than well.
If I could post a Yelp review on specific dates, May 31 gets two stars just for the crummy atmosphere.
