The Illusion of Toxic Positivity

Toxic positivity denies life’s duality. It urges us to always “look on the bright side,” ignoring the richness that comes from experiencing both joy and sorrow. True happiness is found in embracing life’s balance—acknowledging the dark moments while cherishing the light.

Gratitude grows when we notice the good within the bad, and hope is born when we accept that even shadows hold lessons and meaning.
