Is that pit of despair you fell into bringing you down? You’ll be spending a lot of time down there, so why not make it cozy by bringing your own personal flair to the decor? Since you can do nothing to amp up your eternally pessimistic emotional state, spruce up your space with these adorable pit tips!
Quirky Lighting!
Lightening your mood may have proven impossible, but lightening that pit is totally doable. Find a charming, medium-sized, random object and attach a lightbulb to it, or maybe a little bit of copper wire—y’know, if you’re feeling up to it. This will be a great conversation piece for people who grow frustrated with your despondent nods while visiting you in your pit of misery.
Mirrors!
On one of your better days, group a collection of non-matching mirrors together on a wall. This fast fix is both charming and eclectic for your emotional hole. It also gives the illusion of expanding the space, which is especially important when the walls begin to close in on you. But be careful not to look in any of them! Facing yourself would just make things worse.
Foliage!
Introducing a touch of green can really enliven your despair pit! Lucky for you, this tip doesn’t involve much thought, effort, or decision-making. Mosses are your only option in this environment, since you no longer open the shades to natural light. So pick out a nice clump of moss, name it, and hope it doesn’t die like all your hope did.
Tile Collage!
As you fall deeper and deeper into your seemingly endless pit, create a jolly mural on the wall using tiles, beads, or fragments of broken memories. The vertical imagery will serve as a comforting chronicle of your slide deeper and deeper into depression. Now you can reminisce about the depth where you considered ending it all, then the depth where you decided that even that was too much work.
Air Purifier!
The bottoms of most emotional rabbit holes are thick with fumes, so clear it out with your brand new purifier. Maybe you’ll be able to see things more clearly! Either that or you’ll just have a more vivid picture of the horrors of the world.
So try out these tips with the energy still remaining after all the tears are gone. And if you’re not successful, know that we’re all proud of you for trying. And also that life is pointless and nothing matters, so it’s fine either way!
