“Don’t let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice, and when you do, fill the damn silence.”

— Meredith Grey

It’s okay to feel neutral.

Especially when it seems like you should be feeling happy.

Maybe you just finished that stressful project (should be relief, right?), are on an amazing vacation (should be so exciting, yeah?), are hanging out with the people you love most (should be good times, eh?).

So, where are the happy feelings???!!!

There are so many reasons they can be elusive— depression, hormonal imbalances, burnout, exhaustion, stress after-burn, fighting off a virus, about to get your period— who knows.

Learn to live in and embrace neutrality, feeling just ‘okay’. It’s realistic, it’s better than so many alternatives. Sure, happiness is awesome but it is not a human’s default setting. Stop idealizing and believing it is or can be some day. We’re too complex and imperfect. The world is too complex and imperfect.

Learn to love neutrality and you just might find you’re happier as a result.
