[Life] Feeling down? Just overindulged!Author: JEFFI CHAO HUI WU Time: 2025-7-08 Tuesday, 5:38 PM ········································ [Life] Feeling down? Just overindulged! There was a time when I was also stuck in the quagmire of emotions. Irritable, frustrated, and suffocated, a whole bunch of feelings seemed to be fighting in my head. But looking back now, I can only laugh and say: Feeling down? Just overindulged. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying emotions aren't real, but rather that through decades of life, I've verified the truth piece by piece: most of those so-called "problems" that have troubled me the longest, kept me awake at night, and caused me to fall out with others, never actually happened and were purely products of my imagination. I once repeatedly speculated about something, worried whether someone would misunderstand me, concerned whether others were talking about me behind my back, and anxious whether a collaboration would fall through. And what was the result? Most of it never happened at all, and some things I only realized years later were not at all what I initially thought. Yet I genuinely spent several months or even years in internal strife, wasting my precious vitality for nothing. Even more ridiculous is that those moments that make me feel terrible often occur when I am the most free and have nothing to do. On the contrary, during the times when I am truly busy, my feet barely touching the ground, my mind working at full capacity, and I am solving problems step by step, I simply have no time to feel "bad." This has made me completely understand: bad emotions are mostly not caused by problems, but by the fact that "you are not solving problems." I have built websites, set up forums, and developed entire smart logistics systems. These are not just words; they are the result of lines of code I wrote and formulas I calculated. Of course, I encountered lags, errors, and data chaos along the way, but I didn't have time to feel anxious; I could only fix one issue at a time. With each problem solved, I felt a little lighter. It wasn't about comforting myself; it was that structurally, there was genuinely one less hassle, and that sense of relief was tangible. I once spent countless hours alone guarding hundreds of thousands of photographic materials, shooting from dawn until morning, standing in the cold wind waiting for that slight change in light. You ask if it's cold? Of course, it's cold. You ask if it's annoying? Of course, it's annoying. But when I gradually sorted through those photos and selected the thousands of exquisite ones that truly moved me, I was no longer annoyed at all. Because I knew: this is a mountain of work I built with my own hands, not an ideal shouted out in vain. I once organized articles one by one, building a network platform from scratch. Without promotion, without help, I relied solely on myself to update every day. With each article I published, there was one more. While others were anxious about "how to write so much," I only thought, "Can I publish one more today?" In just a few weeks, I published 156 articles, not relying on inspiration, not relying on tools, but purely on perseverance. Feeling down? Are you really not okay, or are you just not taking action? I have experienced being "fired" three times, and at one point I earned not a single penny. In the winter, I would walk for hours back to my place in the early morning, my knees stinging from the cold wind, but I had no time to sit on the bed and complain about my fate. All I wanted to know was, where would my next job be? Could I survive? At that time, it wasn't that I didn't feel miserable, but I simply couldn't afford to dwell on it. Because I had to survive, I had to work, I had to move forward. There are still many people who worry—Is this world too complicated? Do others look down on me? What if a certain problem erupts in the future? My current attitude is: It's none of my business, so I won't worry about it. If it concerns me but can be solved, then solve it, no need to worry. It's none of my business, and worrying about it won't solve anything, so I won't worry. Small matters? Gradually fade away; Big events? Naturally, there are people or systems to handle them. People compared to people? There will always be someone stronger than you, and there will always be someone worse off than you. You are not the worst, nor will you be the strongest; don't play a solo act. Most importantly: Don't let "emotions" become a shield for your laziness. Once you start working hard, you will find— The so-called "bad mood" is mostly just an excuse you give yourself. When there's nothing to do, the mind wanders. Once you get moving, there's no time to be bothered. I am not heartless; rather, I have learned from life that truly strong people are not those without emotions, but those who do not waste their emotions on meaningless things. So I say, feeling down? Most likely it's just being overstuffed. Why not stand up and do something? Even if it only solves one problem, it is a hundred times better than sitting there worrying. Solve one, and there will be one less. One less problem, one lighter life. This is not a motivational quote; this is the path I have forged. A real path! Feeling bad, can it solve the problem!?
