Blogs With Bad Vibes

I am unhappy, therefore I blog

Sounds familiar?

Being prone to having my emotions swayed by the general vibrations around me, perhaps reading blogs that consistently display or have themes revolving around unhappiness, melancholy, depression and discontent could be bad for me.

Misery loves company. Unfortunately mixing with people who are constantly miserable doesnt solve your problems. You can try to help them - only to realize later that they are only happy when they are sad.

Negative posts are okay once every now and then. But if 8 out of 10 of your posts are about how rotten the universe is being to you (in general) then I’m not visiting you ever again. I don’t want to be a spectator to your slow spiral into depression. I have decided that I will be more selective in the blogs I read from now on.

You see, I’d rather hear about your dog, kids, job, lovers and your life in general. Your blog is a window into your world for me to peep through. I know there may be downsides, but hey - that’s what life is all about. I want to learn more about you and what makes you happy. Because if you’re happy then I know that life can’t be that bad and so maybe I can learn to be happy as well.

They say a person cannot be more happy when they can eat, sleep, talk and shit.
