The Bright Side

Looking at the bright side of everything causes misery. Having a truckload of silver linings to put on every dark cloud seems like a helpful move. But what about the storm she's in? Her reality is a blistering wind with sideways rain.

Telling her it all happens for a reason and the cup is half full is kinda mean. Mean because the reality is she’s wet and cold. Masking reality is not helpful.

True helpfulness is acknowledging the storm first. Acting like it’s only sunny slows progress because it isn’t true. Holding both positive and negative reality at the same time is where love lives.
