It's Ok not to be ok,
It's ok to cry, you don't need to be all tough,
It's ok to open up about what's been bothering you.
It's ok.
You're not weak, you are just human.
I grown up in a tough family, crying or complaining isn't something acceptable, or you'll be called as drama queen or a self pitying girl. You have to be strong, no matter what, because this world is hard and to survive, you need to be a tough person. I grow up believing in it, at some point I even stopped showing any expression that people started calling me as flat girl or emotionless girl.
I keep being so until I met a group of people who teach me about being a human. About the meaning of emotions, about how we shouldn't hide or neglect it.
Why should we express ourselves?
Well let's make a simple sample, let's said our emotions is like water inside this kettle. Well, it's totally fine when there's nothing happened with it. But what if we boiled it?
Well, it would still be fine, because in a kettle there's a small hole to release the pressure inside of it. Just like our emotions, we need to express it, so that those emotions not pilled up inside of us and creating a chaos.
I hope you get what I mean 😅
Anyway, If you need a friend to share your thoughts, I'd love to help and be there for you. 💕🤗
