gloom

I’ve been unavoidably busier than I like to be lately, and realized I haven’t had time to be gloomy in a couple of weeks, and then it hit me that this is actually why many people *choose* to be busy. They literally choose to be too busy to think because they can’t stand a bit of gloomy. This makes me metagloomy.

There is a reason why "hit the gym, delete facebook" is a meme.

It actually works.

Fill your mind with enough other things to crowd out the gloom. It's not heartwarming chicken-soupy advice, because it doesn't involve accepting the emotions or doing something inherently "bright" to overcome them, but it's effective.
