It's Okay To Not Be Okay

Do you have those days where it seems like nothing's going your way? You suffer heartbreaks, you experience failure, you got fired, or you lost someone you love and the pain feels like it's breaking you down. Bad things happen after another. And another, and another.

But you still smile.

You try to keep on smiling because you think you're strong, that you have to be strong at all times.

You think you are not allowed to cry, that you shouldn't be crying because you are okay. You look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are okay.Are you really okay? You are not. Stop pretending that you are.

It's okay to not be okay.

It's okay to feel pain. Pain is what makes us strong.

It's okay to cry. Cry yourself until there's no tears left out to cry.

"Even the best fall down sometimes" - Howie Day

Yes. Even the strongest person you could think of suffer. They did cry. They did feel pain. But all these are part of life. Fall once and get up twice.

We all have good and bad days. No one can be perfectly happy all of the time, that is not human. We should show who we really are. It is when we learn to accept our weakness that we'll have the chance to become stronger. It’s a strange thing, but sometimes it can feel safer to stay with a pain we know than embrace the pain of walking away.

“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.” ~Leo F. Buscaglia

Through the events in our lives, good and bad, we learn who we are and what makes us tick. It’s not about creating happily ever after—it’s about taking it one step at a time and accepting that we’ll go through times when we won’t feel happy.

És bo no estar o be. Tots tenim caigudes, no som Superman ni superdona perquè puguem alleujar el dolor. Som humans, ens fem mal i, per tal d’estar alleujats, hem de plorar, plorar sempre que puguis plorar sempre que sentis que el teu cor es recupera lentament i inspiri i exhala. Escalfeu-vos i aixequeu-vos. La vida en aquest món no és fàcil. Hem de trobar fracassos i dificultats per ser forts i enfrontar-nos al món. Continueu fins que pugueu i atureu-vos si us torna a fer mal i aixequeu-vos si és hora que torneu a enfrontar-vos al món

It's good not to be okey😢. We all have downfalls we are not Superman or superwoman that we can ease the pain. We are humans ,we get hurt and in order for us to be relieved we need to cry,cry as long as you can cry as long as you feel your heart slowly recovering and inhale and exhale. Warm up and get up .Life in this world are not easy we need to encounter failures and difficulty in us to be strong and face the world. Just go on until you can and stop if you feel hurt again and get up if it's time for you to face the world again.💓

I agree. Many people pretend because they don't want others to see them weak. They keep on faking smiles.

I always do this pretending that I'm ok even though it's not ok for me. I'm my situation; I need to accept it. Because at the end of the day, I'm still the one who asked for sorry even though it's not my fault.

Sometimes it helps when you accept that you're not fine. It's better to embrace the pain than just walking away from it.

She may say, its not a big deal. If you look at it, there is still a pain that exists that needs to discuss. That's what I'm saying, pretending that I'm ok even though it is not ok.
