So true
Sometimes, the world just gets a bit too much for me and I have to step back and take a deep breath.
All the expectations and things to do can get overwhelming..
And that’s when I remind myself that I’m just one person and that the storms and busyness will pass.
That I don’t have to try to be everything for everyone all the time..
Even as I want to be the strong one that anyone can depend on, that defies the odds and seems to able to overcome any challenge..
Even I need to rest sometimes.
It’s hard for me, but I have to remember that it’s okay not to be okay, to be tired..even to be not strong.
I have to step back and remind myself to live in the moments more- to be fully present and enjoying life as it comes.
Putting away the to do lists, to stop looking at my calendar and start seeing the beauty all around me.
I have to be able to admit that sometimes, I’m not okay.
I’m a messy bundle of nerves that doesn’t have all the answers and worries more than I should..
It’s okay not to always be okay.
It doesn’t matter what the world expects or demands..it matters most what I want, what I can do and just being happy.
Loving passionately, living fully and laughing heartily..
Being outside the box that everyone tries to put us into with their expectations, demands and definitions.
No, I think I’m going to start doing more of the things that make me happy, fill my heart and bring joy to my soul.
Maybe I’ll start stealing away from my day every so often and finding some time to let out frustration, breathe deeply and just “be” for a bit.
There’s always going to be storms, bad days and things to do..
But I can start taking care of me more.
If I don’t, no one else will, either.
Life is a journey, not a sprint, so I’m going to slow down, enjoy the moments and be happy when I can.
I won’t always be okay, be strong or be perfect…
But I don’t have to be.
So long as I’m the best and truest version of myself, the rest of it will work itself out..
I’ll make sure of it.
I’m many things- imperfectly beautiful, a gorgeous mess and most of all, real.
I’ll keep doing the best that I can and that’s enough.
One moment, one day and one beautiful dream at a time.
It’s all up to me.
I’m going to keep choosing happiness.
