*sigh* ...

What do you guys do when you need cheering? I'm feeling... melancholy.

Aww, I'm sorry. I was a bit melancholic a couple days ago.

I usually like to curl up with a good book and some hot chocolate or a cream and sugary tea, like vanilla red. But sometimes all I really need is exercise and sun--exercise releases endorphins, making you happier and more relaxed, and the sun makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Chocolate also causes the release of endorphins--it's the closest thing to food-love that I know of.

Aww, thank you Renee. *hugs* Surprisingly I have chocolate with me. I don't have any sun because it's nighttime, and rainy and windy to boot.

I should curl up with a book. You're right.

Sorry to hear that, Lizzy! I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I second Renee, curl up with a book. I also don't do anything and just stay static, listening to music. Or I try to put my feelings down in writing, journal format. Don't know if those things will help you though.

And if you don't have chocolate where you're at, I'll send you some virtual chocolate *sends virtual chocolate* although I have to say it doesn't taste quite as good as the kind you can hold in your hand.

Thanks Maya! I do feel better today. *hugs*

*takes the virtual chocolate* Hey, virtual chocolate is so much better than none!

Lizzy, I've been feeling the same way. :/

But I agree with the girls. Some chocolate & a good book will help. I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

Thanks Shahira! Today's been better. I wonder if it's a writer thing, having melancholy days?

Maybe it is. I feel like we go through a lot of emotions while writing. &sometimes, those emotions can affect us, you know? (That's just how it is for me....lol)

Same for me too. I can get really emotionally involved in what I'm reading or writing. It's not a bad thing, but sometimes it's almost not a good thing either, you know?

I know exactly what you mean. I think I'm an emotional person as it is, then I read/write & it gets 10x worse lol.

p.s. I LOVE your new picture.

Same here. I can be pretty emotional. ^^ My family knows when I'm melancholy to either leave me alone, or if it's particularly bad, try to cheer me up. Ice cream usually works. ^^ LOL

Thanks! I just realized it looks like I'm left handed because I took it with my mac photo booth. Dumb.

Ice cream always makes things better. <3 My family/friends call me the emo kid. Apparently, I'm just everywhere with my emotions lol. They also think, to be a writer, you have to be all depressed & crazy so yeah, that's what they think of me haha. When I'm in a bad mood or just upset, they usually just leave me be & I get over it on my own time.
Now that I think of it though, I might start demanding ice cream more often.

I never really thought of that lol. But regardless, a cool picture.

LOL! Yeah. My mom has joked that I'm acting emo before. Maybe it does come with being a writer then?

haha maybe?? A friend of mine asked me once, "There's this one writer that committed suicide. Do you have to be depressed to be a writer, or something?" We have emotions. We're not suicidal. lol..

LOL! There's a big difference between just emotional and suicidal. Sure, a lot of suicidal people are emotional, but that's not why they are. I'm emotional (sometimes) but not at all suicidal. *shrug*

Exactly. ^^ I'll write a poem & all of a sudden people think I want to off myself. -__-
