I needed some cheering up...

and I learned that...
...I should never listen to sappy, sentimental, or melancholy songs...
...I should always drink moderately (a glass of wine should be fine)...
...I should always keep myself busy & look forward to the future...
...I should always talk to my mom because she's the best cheer-upper* in the world...

*cheer-upper: someone who cheers me up (there is no such word...I just made it up!)

ps. thanks to pol for keeping me sane...
