Why is it when we tell ourselves “don’t cry…do NOT CRY!!” that almost without fail, the tears begin their trail?
Don’t allow that to make you feel weak. Sheer will-power cannot prevent the dam from leaking. And…it’s more healthy to let your emotions escape. A shaken bottle of worry, stress, and fear can explode! You are not a baby. You are human. Emotions are real. Even when grateful, sometimes we are just grieving the loss of what was. Calm water simply leaks-when life happens, and there’s a leak. 🙂 I know that strength doesn’t always mean toughness w/out feeling. Even the strongest of us…the most positive…have to face reality. The verses/knowledge/positive speaking/bounce-back thinking…can feel quiet in the persistence of fading dreams. Grow dim in the glaring spotlight of disappointment…are almost hiding, in the room of constantly-shifting times. They can even seem shaky, when you find yourself on uneven ground-reaching for balance.
We are, in fact, all human. Caring hearts that love most…hurt the hardest.
Will everything be ok? Absolutely. 🙂 The leak has been stopped. It will come again, but the knowledge that it’s there helps me prepare for the next time.
What I know?
While we have breath-we have purpose. A calling. A reason we’re here.
Whatever you’re going through?
There’s a reason, y’all.
You’re so special. Know ThAT!
You will get through this. Know that, as well!
We rarely want to hear these words, but like every season…”This, too, shall pass.” Our trials may not feel-or even BE curable, and the trial itself may not go-but our ability to deal with it can get better. <3 Thanks for the vent. Moving on. 🙂
