I was just watching a youtube video a few days ago of someone confessing that she goes through a lot of "dark" and unhappy days. It was definitely unexpected since she always seems so bubbly in her videos. Her tip to overcome sadness was to pretend you're happy and do the things that you do when you're happy.


I wonder if that's why a lot of people like upbeat music. It's hard to be sad when you're listening to upbeat music. Maybe that's how people cope with their sad thoughts.

Do you beat sadness by pretending you're happy until you truly feel it?
