Shiny Happy People

Shiny happy people do they really exist, or do they just think that if they avoid negative feelings they will always be happy? I'm definitely the glass is half empty kind of girl who thinks by allowing myself to feel negative emotions motivates me to fill that glass right back up to the top. Is it okay to feel sad or angry about things when our world is turning upside down? Does it send a false message to others that you can always be happy if you just stay positive all the time? Am I a negative person because I feel angry or disappointed about a situation, or I don't automatically think about someone else being worse off than me? Does it help another persons situation who is worse off than me if I stay positive? It's kind of like saying I can't be happy because there are people who aren't as happy as me. 

I think a lot of this glass half full, only think positive, movement is really just a cover for avoiding or resolving the problem at hand. We must feel negative emotions to heal and feel good again. It's part of being human  A good cry, or pity party has always helped me to grow and move forward. Staying positive and avoiding my problems only made me stay in negative situations thinking that they will get better if I only stay positive. You can never achieve one emotion without feeling the other. Of course it's never a good idea to play a victim to every bad circumstance in your life, but I must accept the bad with the good in order to achieve my goals and problem solve my way through life. So release those emotions, pick yourself up, and hold your head high because no ones life is perfect, not even the shiny happy people.
