It's IN THE BAG!!!!!!
Everyone should have what I like to call ‘The Disappointment Bag’. Every now and then, one feels let down, betrayed, or generally unhappy with life. Sometimes you know the reason sometimes you don’t. It also happens that a few days later you see the entire situation in an entirely new dimension, maybe even change your opinion. So how about this, every time you get the feeling, of deceit lurking around, jot it down. Of course it’s entirely personal, so even if you get pissed at someone for no reason, or you blame someone for no fault of theirs, they don’t even need to know and hence ask “what’d I do?, what’s wrong with you?” Plus, you have a list of who’s done what wrong and when, so you can shove it in their face whenever you want. Rather unpleasant, but everyone does it anyway, so why not have a system to it.
But since I don’t want to be “the guy who made us hold on to all our disappointments”, why not have something exactly similar for the moments when you feel happy, say “The Bag of Joy”, (or if it’s a word document like the one I’ve started today “The File of Joy”). Every little thing which brings a smile to your face, a tear in your eye, uncontrollable fits of laughter, ecstatic drunkenness, unbelievable successes, senseless giggles, EVERYTHING…. It goes into the bag/file. Trust me, when you read it again, when you remind someone about it, laugh about it, it’ll be bliss. Don’t you feel happy? And that’s just after reading about it. Think about it… no pressure!
