Good a time as any

This was a mess too
So, for a while, I've been off and on with remembering a good topic to discuss in a journal. I keep forgetting and coming back to think on it, so I figure I'll just say the thing before I forget entirely what I was trying to say in the first place.
Simply speaking, I wanted to just say that you should try to enjoy life in general. I don't really mean going out and making the most of it, and I don't mean that you need to force yourself to experience joy and only joy. I just mean that you should be able to appreciate the actual passage of your life. Kind of like laughing silently at something stupid you did years ago that you couldn't possibly see yourself doing now. Whatever stupid things you might do or troubles you experience along the way, you can't let it get you down too much. There are just too many negatives to let it get you down. I mean, you'll probably die from actual physical forces if you just stay depressed. It's actually incredibly bad for your health, apparently. On the opposite end of that spectrum, I can't imagine being too happy all the time. The amount of effort that would have to go into attaining constant happiness sounds tiring, along with being kind of boring. What would it even mean to be happy anymore? Kind of like the immortality debate with your life being pointless if there is no end. I dunno, really. Anyway, there are ups and downs in life. Sometimes you don't feel so great, sometimes you're okay, and sometimes you reach temporary paradise. You gotta learn to take all of it in and appreciate it all for what it is. Cherish your memories and whatnot. Your personality is a product of your memory, after all. Really though, most people figure that out naturally, I think. I guess there's no real point in me trying to spout life lessons when I've got a lot of my life left to live, with any luck. Live and learn, they say. Whoever 'they' are, but that's it for this journal. No time to talk about them. Goodnight. Enjoy the starlight alongside the moon's dull reflection.
Now for a completely unrelated song. Undertale spoilers, I guess? Technically. Fuck it. It's been months. How many people who are going to play the game could possibly not know about the game by now? [EDIT] I'm gonna change the song out. Might as well. Save that one for another journal, I guess.
