It's Okay to Be Miserable!

Before I met Lu, everyone told me, "You have to be optimistic. You have to be cheerful."

So I copied everyone else and went about my days smiling in the sunshine.

Then I met Lu. He said, "If you can't smile, don't. The world is a forgiving place, so it's okay to feel down!"

Later, I thought back on our romance and realized that was when I started falling for him.

A few things to know before reading:

1. First-person narration.

2. A silly comedy.

3. The heroine is both downcast and sweet.

Theme: The world is vast, but happiness matters most!
