In Brief, Daydreams

Have you ever had a really depressing day dream? You know you are just sort of sitting around doing nothing and your mind starts to wander and you begin to imagine something... but then it all ends badly. I find it odd sometimes how I can work myself into an emotional state just by day-dreaming. I think that sometimes when you are thinking of dark things you find yourself in a dark place without ever traveling.

I am not a fan of positive thinking, however. Pretending is not how you make things better... but why is it that pretending can make things feel so much worse?
