The world is a pretty awful place but, for what it’s worth, being a realist doesn’t have to make you feel depressed.
You have already found nature, which is one of the best therapies out there. Dogs do a pretty darn good job of it too.
If you add in physical activity, which it sounds like you do, you may have the occasional bad day but give yourself a pass and know that you won’t feel that way everyday.
What it boils down to for me is making the best of the life I have. It’s definitely not perfect, but as long as I can take care of myself, I will extract as much damn happiness from this clown world as I can.
Please pet that sweet dog for me. :)
