"Before, i used to scold myself whenever i felt sad. I told myself that its is not okay to feel so low, to let tears spill down my cheecks, to be this vulnerable. You see, we've become so accustomed to putting a mask on in front of the world that sometimes we forget to take it off in front of ourselves too. We forget that being honest with ourselves is the biggest gift we could give our hearts. Listening to our pain, to ourtrauma. Unveiling our scars.

Accepting blemishes. Simmering in the sadness rather than pushing it away, rather than clumping, sadness, pain, and trauma under tight heading,"Things i dont want to speak about" and locking it away in a compartment in our mind."

Accept your pain. Embrace it. Let your heart squirm with emotions, both good and bad, and dont brush away the things that make you sad. Listen to them. Understand them. Because they are as much a part of you as everything else it. Its okay to be sad. Its okay to cry. Its okay to feel vulnerable and scared and anxious. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're only human after all. You're only human.
