Damage Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 So as you may have guessed from the topic life has been serving me all the lemons and not the fun sexy beyonce kind. I've been in film making for a while now and my last few attempts at projects that didn't belong to someone else have blown up in my face. And the friends I thought I had well.... you know how this song and dance is going. I hate being upset but even I'm having problems staying optimistic. So instead of rambling the day away I'll just ask how do you guys usually deal with the whole (insert curse word and directed person) "I'm gonna do (whatever) and I'm gonna feel great! P.S I hope you all feel great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonikku Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 If I have problems being optimistic, I might listen to some music, analyze the situation or the one that works to best most of the time, shut your brain off and do it. Remember to believe that you are great, as that's what great people do before they become great. Most of all, do what will make ya happy! :] P.S. Hope your film goes well bud :feelsgd: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Felix Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Don't make lemonade. Get mad. I don't want your damn lemons; What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to speak to life's manager. Make them rue the day they thought they could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the guy who's going to burn your house down! With the lemons! I'll get my engineers to make a combustible lemon that burns your house down! Good luck dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggle Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Fun fact: Lemons aren't even naturally occurring. They are man-made hybrids created from selective breeding oranges with citrons. So technically, life can't give you lemons, it was your fellow humans that gave it to you~ :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I don't know who this life person is, but I'd be suspicious if someone just randomly gave me a piece of fruit. For all I know, there's a razor blade in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honchy Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think I might have a couple lemons around, but you'll need dozens to make lemonade. Then we waste lemon skins, which is sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Let me see if I got this right.... 1-relax 2- don't give lemons to other people 3-don't blame the lemon as it is a product of people 4- don't trust anyone named life 5- dont waste lemon skins. Solid advice guys. Consistent but I think step one probably works the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 You meet life in a dark alleyway. Only he doesn't know he's meeting you there. And only you walk back out. But seriously, just dive into something interesting. That'll lift the mood and help get your mind off of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaris Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just... cry a lot. And then you'll feel better. At least it works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeFailure Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 My way is...different. I ask if someone had a bad day (friend etc.) and listen to them, because sometimes just listening to someone's else's problems and trying to help them with it helps somehow. \_(o.o)_/ Try burying your face in ice cream, usually works.

Lilleen Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I wish I could say I try to calm myself down by watching funny youtube videos, doing stuff I like, etc. However, that would be lying. I usually take a nap after crying or whenever I don't feel too well. I also try to keep away from people as well. However, back to the nap. Take a nap for en hour-ish and I usually feel much better.

Doing some activity that requires concentration (i.e. karate) usually works for me too. And about the nap thing... I prefer to sleep for a whole night. For some reason, I wake up in a very bad mood after taking naps ^^U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted July 8, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted July 8, 2016 Taking a nap usually works for me if I'm in a bad mood. For me, if my brain is a computer, then napping is like restarting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
