Publisher's Synopsis
You Don't Need to Be Positive
How Sitting with Negative Feelings Is Pivotal for Inner Peace
By Jina Veon
You're not broken. You're just tired of pretending you're okay.
This book isn't here to slap a motivational quote over your pain or tell you to smile through the storm. It's not about "fixing your mindset" or forcing gratitude when all you feel is numb. It's for the days when you want to disappear. For the nights when pretending to be okay feels heavier than whatever you're actually carrying.
You Don't Need to Be Positive is a permission slip.
To feel what you feel.
To stop performing wellness.
To stop apologizing for being human.
Inside, you'll find nothing shiny. No five-step plans. No forced cheer. Just the soft, brave truth that it's okay to be sad. That real peace isn't about escaping hard feelings, it's about making space for them. Sitting beside them. Learning from them.
Because the opposite of toxic positivity isn't negativity, it's honesty.
And maybe that's where your healing begins:
Not in denying your pain,
But in finally listening to it.
