They say when you are down that you just need to lift your spirit. Yup, all I need to do is raise a shot and I feel much better. No, they mean something else. Pick yourself up off the floor. Stop dragging your feet. Lift your chin up. It’s like being someone who not only knows they reached a low, but you gotta be the same person to pull yourself out of it. It’s a lot of responsibility.

If you want to wallow in your misery, there’s always a place for it. Like imagine, you’re sad and tired. So sad. So tired. If only you could be asleep, but you’re so tired you’d rather be permanently asleep. You’re too sad to be permanently asleep,then you can’t get any sleep. No sleep for a sleepyhead like you. You must be so sad and tired.

See, wallowing is pitiful at best. No point in stating the obvious, so might as well just get to doing things that make you happy. Just don’t get carried away. Don’t smoke every time you are sad, and don’t sleep every time you are tired. Your body gives you signals and cravings, but not all of them are in your best interest. Just look at how most relationships go, lead through the mist into a hall of smoke and mirrors, or at least that’s how it went with my ex (haha).

So yeah, don’t lift that glass tonight. Lift that soul inside your chest. Tell ’em what you came here for. Give them a show. Evoke the change you want to see. Sow your dreams into the soil, and don’t let the plants wilt. Be the sunshine that lights up the world.
