It's Okay to Feel

"Be confused, it's where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it's where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it's where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart's wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always." ~S.C. Lourie~

Good evening dear ones. Over the years, I have hidden many things about myself. I didn't just hide things from friends or family, but also from my own heart. I built walls, and pretended that I was fine no matter how broken I may have been. I thought that I needed to be fine all the time. I thought I needed to be whole, and constantly happy, and so I told myself I was even though I knew it was a lie. I would hide my brokenness, and turn to vices to mask the problems. I closed my eyes to the real issues for fear of where I would end up. I didn't want to face who I really was.

Times have changed since my self-imposed isolation began. I have learned to look within myself for many things I searched for elsewhere. I have realized that I can be sad, and broken, and still be okay. I have found that if I accept this part of me, feel what I need to feel, I can allow it to pass through and move on. There are several things I am still working on. There are many broken pieces I am still trying to put back together, but I am healing. I am moving towards who I am truly meant to be. I have come to know my worth.

My loves, you are worthy. No matter what stage you are in, no matter how low you may feel, you are worthy. Taking time out for yourself to see this within you is a long road, but I can tell you it is very much worth it. Stop lying to yourself, and face all that you are. Whatever your talents, and whatever your faults, they are all part of what makes you, you. Love yourself unconditionally.

Be good to yourself and each other, as you never know what someone is going through. Never let a day go by without letting your loved ones know how you feel. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
