We are not used to show ourselves being vulnerable. I’m not talking about giving control away while being submissive. I’m talking about real vulnerability. We are use to choose our best photos before uploading them, to check our spelling and grammar before posting a writing, and to decide what experiences we share and which we don’t. But we don’t usually let people know about our lows. So here is one of mine.
I try to remember every day that it’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to be angry, upset, anxious, bored, impatient, afraid, sad, worried, doubtful… and the list goes on and on. I try to remember that I have to allow myself to feel all I need to feel. It’s not good nor bad. It just is. If I need to scream, I shall yell. If I need to stay quiet, I shall stay in silence. If I need to cry, I shall let the tears fall.
A few days ago, stress caught up with me, and I needed to let it loose. Then I remembered that it’s ok to not be ok. And I’m showing it, in case someone needs the reminder. One more time… it’s ok to not be ok.
