I’ve been talking a lot about happiness this week, but today I was thinking about how sometimes we really just can’t find it in ourselves to be happy.
No matter what we try, or do, we just keep feeling that deep heavy sadness.
That’s okay.
Nothing is wrong with you.
You are allowed to feel it.
Sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is to let ourselves feel it.
Give yourself permission to let it out.
Cry. Scream. Shake your fists at the sky. Let the tears roll down your face, and sob if you need to.
Forcing ourselves to put on a happy face when we are miserable helps sometimes. Other times it’s really the worst thing you can do.
Sometimes we need that release.
The sadness, or grief, or pain wells up, and instead of pushing it down sometimes we just really need to feel it.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to allow that hurt to come to the surface.
Sometimes that’s exactly what we need to do.
Sometimes afterwards we can see the sun shining just a little bit brighter again.
Sometimes we still need to cry,
and that’s okay.
💖💞
Sending love your way. Always.
Gracefully Honest
