Hey, are you okay?
No really, are you okay?
Please don't just fake a smile and say you're fine. I know you're not. I know that smile, I've seen it too many times to not know it. I've worn it myself. So please don't lie. It's okay if you're not!
Just tell me, be honest. Are you okay?
If you're not, you can tell me, I'm not either. But I'll try to help anyway. I'm not the best at advise, and I can't fix you. But that's okay. It's okay to be a little broken.
Aren't we all? That's what makes us human. All our mistakes and flaws and broken edges. They, make us who we are. And who you are is perfect, and beautiful, and wonderful.
So don't you ever think you're not, and don't let anyone tell you anything less.
But I know that won't happen. You will probably feel worthless sometimes. And people aren't going to treat you well. You will be sad. And they might break you. But guess what? You've still got someone. And if you think I'm wrong, and you don't think anyone out there cares, then shut up. Because I do. I care. About every single one of you. Every time one of you wonderful people choose to spend just a little bit of your precious lives with me, I feel loved and cherished and in return, I can't help but love you all back. And guess what?
You deserve to be loved. So much more than you ever even could be. Do you know why? Because you are you. And that's all you need to be. That's enough. You are enough!
So don't lie and say you're okay when you feel broken inside. Because your broken edges will cut open your heart and everyday you'll loose a bit more of yourself. So don't fake a smile. Don't lie. Don't put on a mask so no one will see how bad you really feel.
