I sometimes post motivational memes, but I try not to overdo it. IMO, it makes those of us who are struggling feel disconnected. A part of us sees all the 'Just think happy thoughts!' memes and feels a disconnect between where we are in life and an impossible goal of perpetual happiness.
Sometimes, just getting out of bed is a victory, and 'thinking happy thoughts' didn't get us there. Sometimes, sheer will and grit are what's needed, and that's not just okay but an unappreciated victory❤️
