I see. Maybe it’s because I’m simple. When someone told me to cheer up, I think I wanted to return the kindness to them.
It was during my match, “You can do it!” “Go for it!” I could hear everything from the stadium. Then it made me think that I should give it everything I had. So I could win. I wanted to win, so I could make the people who cheered for me happy. I think that’s what I wanted. That might be why I developed the habit of telling people around me to cheer up.
But after hearing what you said, I could see how one could take it that way. I should go easy on that.
Sometimes I’ll just read the most profound, heart-wrenching piece of literature, and then remember that I’m on AO3 and it’s an It fanfiction published in 2017 with an author’s note saying “wrote this last night because I was bored lol”
