Unfortunately, we cannot rid the whole world of pain, suffering, and sadness. But it is wise to remember that each dark episode eventually leads to brighter moments. We just have to learn and program our minds to see the light in the darkness, and sooner or later, the sun will start to shine.

So Pandas, if you feel it in you, I invite you to share messages that might lift someone's spirits today.

Yes I showed me daughter this episode after the little dictator escalated his threats to nuclear. There's isn't much we can do besides send money to those that desperately need it. The US can't be of much help openly either bc it could start a nuclear war if little elderly psycho feels cornered.

“The Odds Of You Being Born Are 1 In 400 Trillion”: 30 Uplifting Messages If You Are Feeling Down, Shared By Our Community You are enough, you are so enough it’s unbelievable how enough you are! Listen, I think it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves how enough we are!

How often do we forget that who we are, and how we came on to this planet, is enough? How many ways do we see in our own life, our own friends, family, planet… people forgetting how enough we are! When you see the hopelessness in others, how does that make you feel? What do you do for the others to correct that? How can you be that kind and loving for yourself as well?

Why is it important that you know how enough you are? Because I believe that if we start coming from a place of THAT level of knowledge, we create a better existence for each other!!! Living in our “enoughness” is the antidote to shame, anxiety, loneliness, depression, feeling unloved, etc., etc., etc.

“The Odds Of You Being Born Are 1 In 400 Trillion”: 30 Uplifting Messages If You Are Feeling Down, Shared By Our Community Dear reader,

I just want to say, there will be better days. I know life is tough, and things get hard, but look for those little happy moments. Stay close to those who care for you, even if you feel like pushing them away. And never, ever give up. Show those who hate you that you are NOT going to let them bring you down. Get back up when you are pushed down and keep fighting. The battle may be a bit rough for a while, but it will get better. And remember, always remember, and don't forget to smile.

“The Odds Of You Being Born Are 1 In 400 Trillion”: 30 Uplifting Messages If You Are Feeling Down, Shared By Our Community I'm not sure what to really write but I have a list that helps me sometimes honestly because my life sucks right now and I just am really stressed out everyday... Here is the list that you can do if you're feeling down:

1. Listen/dance to music.
2. Hug someone/something.
3. Washing your face/taking a bath.
4. Watching videos, movies, or TV shows.
5. Drawing on paper or phone (if you enjoy drawing).
6. Creating a sticker book.
7. Writting your feelings down in a journal or anything that has happened 'today'.
8. Cleaning (if cleaning makes you calm or maybe cleaning with music on).
9. Doing something nice for somebody else (I get happy a bit if I made someone else happy).
10. Reading comics/books (if u enjoy reading or reading makes you calm).
11. Thinking about good memories. Negative thoughts can fill our heads but we shouldn't focus on that so how about good memories instead?
12. Baking/cooking something. If you enjoy cooking/baking it can be sometimes a calming thing to do!
13. Playing with pets (if any chance you got a pet just play with them - pet them - or watch them calmly).
14. Eating something sweet/good (sometimes I get upset if I haven't eaten something or I just get hangry).
15. Do something you like to do... Have your own free time and don't worry about other things.

Words are easier said than done but I hope everyone's gonna have a good life because even if the present or the past is dark the future might turn bright and I hope you know that there are people in the world that care about you. 💗 (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡ 💗

PITCH BLACK

Here is the night. The deepest darkness that can be.
This, my friend, is pitch black.

It is so heavy that you are forced into stillness.
It seems to pose a threat,
the biggest being that which you cannot see.

Slowly, your eyes adjust.
You begin to perceive slight variations,
subtle degrees of darkness.

Soon, you can discern shapes
and objects
and movement.

The density surrounding you has not changed.

But you have.

You have stared down pitch black
and have found that it is not absolute.
Brightness is relative.

Tomorrow
you will begin with grey.

Tomorrow
you will seek out the light.

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way. Positive messages don't seem to really work for me anymore. I see posts like this a lot and I appreciate the sentiment but more than positive vibes, I just want someone to agree with me/be on my side. My ex used to have a friend who he could go up to and would say 'we hate this person' and with no clarification or explanation his friend would be like, 'yeah that a*****e!' It was so funny. And it immediately helps calm you down when someone else backs you up. Even if I could just have that at work. Everyone at my work is so freaking chipper all the time. I'm not a negative person, really, but sometimes you want to complain about something going on and there's literally no one there I can talk to. They are so corporate-happy, stepford people. It's bad enough you have to fake smile with customers but I feel like I have to do it with them, too. I'd give anything for another person there I could talk honestly and laugh with!

Forget about the haters, the drama, and anything else that's stressing you out or pushing further into depression!!

Take some time, regardless if it's just a few hours, a couple days or weeks, however much time it will take to help you unwind and focus on your happiness.
Take the time to enjoy yourself, have fun & let loose, be free to be who you are!!
Say "YES" to an adventure, meeting new people, & trying new things..
Life's way too short & over before we know it, so live it how you want, live life to the fullest.
Cherish each moment, laugh often, & be kind to others!

Recent scientific studies have shown that brain activity when you're dying / close to death really does prove the old adage "Your life flashes before you", as the activity closely matches the same brain activity shown when we're recalling happier times or good memories. So if that's the case, make your end-of-life in-flight movie an absolute summer blockbuster!

You are unique. What you have learned is unique to you. As a kid, the world holds many wonders, marvels and mysteries and your young mind craves to experience everything.
As you get older, the secrets behind everything that you're amazed by as a kid are revealed.
Some things you lose interest in and some you don't.
The ones you lose interest in, you no longer learn about, and your knowledge wanes as time goes by.
As you get even older, the remaining interests fall away as you outgrow some of them, and you no longer learn about them.
As you reach adulthood, you concentrate on what you already know and ignore the things that you have little or no interest in.
Finally, you reach a point where you feel you have learned everything you can about what you know and love and look back on what you used to know and realize that you still want to learn it all, but it has changed so much you can't connect with your past interests and loves.
The younger generation has surpassed what you know. They then mock you for your lack of current knowledge and skill in a pursuit you loved as a child.
But take comfort that one day they will be standing where you are now, being mocked for not knowing what they once knew.
Be thankful for what you have learned and grateful for those who help you with the things you have forgotten.

as long as you are alive, breathing, and somewhat of sound mind - it is never too late to try something new, go out on your own, make a new friend, try a new hobby, or do something for someone else.
when i'm having one of my turns, i create & mail out envelopes of fun to all kinds of folk. i include a homemade card full of bad/silly puns, some stickers, and a bag or 2 of different teas.
it brightens the day of someone else, and you get out of your head space to concentrate on a fun project.
