That pretty much hit the nail right on the head!

It seems a bit much when you read it..but there have been many times those thoughts have been "true" for me.

This is brilliant.
3. Your sadness is the baseline by which the rest of your life should be measured. This sadnesss is your norm, and any other emotions, especially positive ones, are exceptions to the rule. Yes of course there will be good times, of course there will be flashes of joy; you will certainly, on occasion, experience the pleasure of a good book or a ripe juicy peach. However, those experiences will be few and far between. Your bad days will always outnumber the good.
Yep, sadness is my baseline. I can't envision myself as a content person :/
Life is better than nothing.
