Cropping Out All the Sadness

This quick clip from Portlandia is hilarious, as usual, but there's a very honest and valuable reminder at the end. Wait for it.​

Yes - the Internet disguises life for a lot of us. And most of us (okay, all of us) aren't having as good a time as we let on. It's okay to peel the mask of happiness off sometimes if that's not how we really feel.​

Of course, we don't have to broadcast our sadness to everyone; we can just wallow in it or let those closest to us in on what's really happening. ​

Objects that appear online may be happier than they are.​

Want Pleasure? Pursue Discipline.
