    The document discusses the common belief that positive thinking leads to happiness and health, but acknowledges that reality sometimes gets in the way of maintaining positivity. Specifically, it notes that as children we are taught to smile and be cheerful, while as adults we are told to look on the bright side, but that hopes can fail, relationships can disappoint, and there are times when being truly unhappy and scared is more authentic than pretending to be happy.

    "It's a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier, healthier life.

    As children we are told to smile, be cheerful, and put on a happy face. As adults we are told to look on the bright side, to make lemonade, and see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to act the happy part though. Your hope can fail, boyfriends can cheat, friends can disappoint. It's in these moments, when you just want to get real, drop the act, and be your true scared unhappy self." -Meredith Grey
