When you believe everything's okay, it never really is. And when you recognize that it's not okay, you're not allowed to let it get better. See, they always want you happy. They always try to make you smile when you're in pain. They wipe your tears and tell you you're okay. But you know what? Sometimes you're not okay, and sometimes you just need to cry. Sometimes you don't want someone to tell you you're okay and sometimes you don't want to smile. And that's okay. It's okay to be sad, and it's okay to recognize that sadness. You can cry, you can scream, you can yell. All these little things people call insanities, but in truth, a life without sadness is a life not lived and a life without tears is emotionless. They want you to stop crying. They hand you a tissue. They wipe your eyes. I'm okay, I just need to cry. It's going to take awhile for anyone to understand that I truly am okay because it's going to be awhile until I stop crying over the past. But just know that even though I may cry and I might shake sometimes, that doesn't mean that I'm not okay.
