How to use "Dismally" in context?
Dismally, pessimistically, unfavorably... Words that evoke negative and depressing feelings. They fill our minds with thoughts of woe and defeat, making anything seem incredibly bleak and uninviting. And yet, when we look closely, we see that life is often eerily dismal - gloomy and grey despite the sunlight shining brightly down on the rest of the world.
In fact, some may say that life is downright depressing. The losses we suffer, the disappointments, the struggles... they seem to blot out the sun, leaving us feeling dark and hopeless. But is this really what life is supposed to be like?
