Maybe I should take a break for a few days and try to think about positive things,
"Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" is an 18th-century ode by Thomas Gray. It is composed of ten 10-line stanzas, rhyming ABABCCDEED, with the B lines and final D line in iambic trimeter and the others in iambic tetrameter. In this poem, Gray coined the phrase "Ignorance is bliss".
If you want to be happy, ignoring as much of actual reality as possible is how you arrive at that state.
I'm not recommending it in particular, and it's only if you want to prioritize being happy and positive over the ugly reality. Kind of delusional, but more 'enjoyable'. "Awww, look at that puppy and kitten cuddling each other."
The poem is worth a read too, if you're into that kind of thing.

Maturity and Nuance?
Am I really on the internet?
It's just because I'm old af and sometimes forget where I am.
