&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People. It pissed me off beyond belief, that there was an inference that if you weren’t Happy, you simply weren’t doing the right things.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I’ve had depression for as long as I can…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://diorvargas.tumblr.com/post/47868818296</link><guid>http://diorvargas.tumblr.com/post/47868818296</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:31:53 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>queennubian:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Tennessee lawmaker has relented and agreed to drop his bill linking academic performance to the family’s welfare benefits after an 8-year-old girl shamed him by following him around the state Capitol. (&lt;a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/12/8-year-old-follows-tenn-lawmaker-around-capitol-until-he-drops-welfare-bill/" target="_blank"&gt;via&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This just may be my favourite thing ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS&lt;/p&gt;
