ALONE TIME 🌻 Sometimes I would rather choose to hear raindrops than be in a sea of people and all I could hear is noise. I would rather walk and get soaked under the rain than going into a crowded room pretending they don’t see me and that I don’t exist. I always find it hard showing up to people every day when you are dealing with your internal storms. There are moments when I feel breaking down in the middle of the crowd and I just want to dig a hole and hide until I get better. That is perhaps why it’s a little odd but comforting at the same time that i’d choose to be alone. Because it is a whole lot easier for me not to pretend rather than having someone else to question what I’m feeling. But then, I thought that I really don’t need to put a game face on every single day. I realise that stepping down is as strong as pushing further; and that saying NO is as admirable and brave as saying YES. I realise that stepping down is as strong as pushing further; that saying NO is as admirable and brave as saying YES. And just like me, don't be afraid to be alone if that means healing for you. Be alone if that means more time for yourself. I hope you find the right balance of pursuing whatever makes you feel happy and going lay low whenever the pressure is just too much. May you learn when to preserve your strength and when to protect your mind, heart and soul. Your well-being matters more. 😓
