Being happy doesn't mean you ALWAYS have to be okay
It's pretty straightforward what I just wrote but I'll elaborate further.
Since I was a child it was implanted in my mind that being happy means you can't be upset over the big things moreover the little things. People around me who were always praised as a 'good' person; were always the one who smiled from ear to ear.
I learnt the hard way that smiling and pretending like you're in a beauty pageant doesn't solve your problems. Not in the least. But the problem with showing an emotion other than happiness seems to be a sin to society. If you lose your temper, even once, people will always remember and bring it up.
It sucks honestly. I need you to remember though happiness isn't guaranteed throughout life. And that doesn't mean you're not going to be okay. Life has it silly little tricks and treats but being happy all the time won't help anything. Not now, not ever.
So conclusion is, being happy isn't everything in life because in the end hurt and experience make you more realistic.
