You Should be Happier

If I had a dollar for every time I was told I should try to be happier, I would probably be rich by now. Who chooses to feel bad? I get in bad moods often. Most of the time for no apparent reason. My husband swears I’m forever on my period or PMSing. I can be fine all day and then BANG, a fucking mood swing hits me.

“Just be happy,” they say. I wish it was that easy.
