(please listen to the song below while reading)
Outlook ain’t everything, but it’s a hell of a lot. We all walk the same streets, but they can sure as shit look different. Depends on what color your lenses are tinted.

Sleep is tricky. Some days sleeping is the only love. It’s easy and it’s great and it’s a best friend. And sometimes, well…sometimes it’s not. It can be hard with all that action rattling around up there. I know there’s a lot going on in your brain—if there wasn’t, I wouldn’t like you half as much.

Look: She’s gone. He’s gone. It’s gone. They’re gone. It’s over. Move over. It’s time to move on. Move over more. Stop being dehydrated. Shake those winter blues. Get out of town for a bit. There’s nothing a whole lot more important than your own mental health. Everyone will understand. And, here’s the best part: it doesn’t even matter if they don’t! There’re not many directions we can go besides forward. Don’t have any choice. But I suppose that’s a good thing.

The way I see it, we’ve got three options:

1) Focus, try harder, etc.
2) Coast, watch too much TV, etc.
3) Be dead

Um…

Doesn’t everything seem more important these days? Well, it should. Everything is important/nothing is important. Remember that whole “outlook” thing we were talking about? This song makes me feel good. Listen to the lyrics.

Give me some optimism. Give me positivity. Give me the opposite of dark. Please. I know sometimes that’s hard when you remember that honesty isn’t the best policy—it’s the only policy.

Some trees they fall down, but I know some will grow

Amen.

P.S. Fuck Daylight Saving Time.
