Sometimes I find it more fun to face a bad day with a sarcastic attitude, but not a mean one.

You get tired of that too... Keeping up with appearances when shit just sucks ass.

Being real gets old too. Eventually you realize you can't afford not to be positive.

I do feel ya' on that, friend. Trust me. It's okay to break down, cry, be pissed, etc. Life can really fucking suck sometimes...hell, most times even. I just find that positive self-talk has helped me turn a shit day around. When I have those days that feel like everything and anything is going wrong, I usually just accept the chaos with a bit of humor. I'll literally laugh out loud and try to do something that brings me joy...whether it be play video games, cook myself a nice dinner, go for a walk with the dogs, and so on. I tell myself that what I'm feeling is only temporary and, as cliché as it may be, tomorrow is a new day. Life will pan out the way it does and I have no control of the uncontrollable, but I have control over how I react and let it affect me.

If only taking mental health days off of work was more acceptable in today's work culture. Most places of employment don't give a shit, sadly.

This applies most of the time for most people, but there is a subset of people that can not control their attitude due to a mental disorder. One example, depression is a hell of a thing and still so misunderstood. For someone that has been there, I’ll tell ya there is absolutely no control over the inner voice and trying to positive talk yourself makes you feel even worse because at the time it feels like more pathetic BS. Sometimes people are just stuck with a bad time with a bad attitude. Not trying to demean the quote for most, but it’s nonsense for someone in that situation.

Like my Papa used to say, “there are no such things as bad days: just some days are better than others”.

You can face a bad day with a good attitude. But, can you face a bad week, a bad month, or a bad season with a good attitude?

Never let a bad day pull you down. Drag it up to meet you.

I'll always power through the rough days and I'm looking forward to the time I'd be able to hug my person again in the future, that's my way of recharging

Sure, if you're perfect. Which nobody is. So this isn't true.

If everyday is a good day in your mind , no day is a 'good' day. Feel all the emotions of the day , but just don't let it go out of hand. This mind control 'feel good , good attitude' sounds good , but leads to total apathy after a while , I am speaking from experience .
