About Being Strong

We are constantly being told “stay strong”, 

but you know what?

Its okay to not always be strong.

It’s okay to break down.

You don’t always have to pretend to be strong,

There’s no need to prove all the time that everything is okay.

You shouldn’t be concerned  about what people are thinking.

Cry if you need to,

It’s good to cry out all your tears

Because only then, you will be able to smile again.

Sometimes being strong is not about being brave and smiling all the time.

Sometimes it’s not about acting as if you’re the happiest person in the world.

Sometimes it’s not about holding everything together when everything around you seems to be falling apart.

Sometimes you have to be humble yourself, swallow your pride, put your brave face away, and break down.

Hug someone who loves you as much as you love them.

Have a good cry, wash out your heart.

If you keep it inside, it’ll tear you apart.

Get angry, be mad, lean on someone, talk it out.

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see life with a clearer view again.

Be good to yourself. You deserve happiness,

Do what you need to do to feel better and live a happy, healthy life.

But remember this,

DON’T YOU EVER GIVE UP!!
