The society we live praises the happy, extrovert and sociable individuals, even if they’re hiding the sadness behind that ‘mask’. I always try to spread love and positivity, but it doesn’t mean that everything are roses all the time. We’re sensitive beings and it’s ok to feel vulnerable.
I've done it so many times, Been the rock that the foundation of strength been built and is expected to be strong and happy and positive even when things get tough.
So many people looking up to me that I cannot appear weak or feel troubled,
SO i hid behind masks and always said I am okay even when I am not.
Life gets me down and sometimes I just hide behind a book or sleep.
Yet indeed admiting that you are not okay is one of the best things that you can for yourself. Overcoming bad days a part of the journey.
I love this piece Juli and thank you for sharing it.
Yes, I totally understand that. I think it's something we do as a response to that pressure of being happy and "strong" all the time. But, in my point of view, being strong is also being able to admit when things are tough and growing up from it.
As long as you're truthful to yourself and give yourself space and time to heal, that's what matters. :) Thank you for your feedback Mr.! hehe or just Mave :)
