This rings so true for me. So often I'll ask someone if they are okay, knowing the actual answer and knowing how they are going to answer already.
Not being okay is okay.
Not knowing how you're feeling is okay. Having a put together face for others, and then the mess when you are alone is okay sometimes too. Sometimes. But at some point, somewhere you will crack. You will fall down, And the fight will be too much to look okay.
Focus on the cracks of light, the sun shining through the window, the birds chirping outside in song. Take that deep breath you've been hanging onto for days and tell yourself you got this. Baby steps are still steps forward, and even babies stumble sometimes. 💓
I am always here to lean on my shoulder, go for a quiet walk, have that awkwardly long hug that makes you crumble and the ear to listen to your word vomit.
You are never alone, even when you feel you are. A simple message or call saying hi can usually turn that frown upside down. 😊
