Are you sick of people telling you to always look on the bright side, telling you to be grateful? Does it make you just want to scream louder? Us too sometimes! It's perfectly fine to not be fine, it's totally normal. In this episode, we dive into the reasons why sometimes positivity can absolutely suck and how too much of it can even be toxic. Happiness is like glitter - you can find it everywhere and anywhere, but too much of it is just annoying. Join us as we share our own moments of despair and how sometimes, we just need darkness to find hope.
