It's okay to say "it's not okay."
Because really, as much as we pretend, sometimes it isn't okay.
Putting on a smile to try to convince everyone that you're alright is never that convincing. Everyone can tell. Why not be vulnerable with them and tell them the truth?
Life hurts at times. Even as much as you would probably like to be completely unwoundable, you're not. We are all woundable.
This is truly what makes us all completely unique and special.
We all suffer in completely different ways from one another but in the end, we are all feeling something deep down in our hearts.
Life would be very boring if there weren't any opportunities to get hurt. But that's what makes life worth living - the ability to risk for the reward and to recover when we lose.
But you never get anywhere by being fake. You have to be real. You have to be so real that the world sees you for who you truly are.
Because every time you pretend to be someone you're not, you create chaos within yourself. Your own soul doesn't even recognize the person you are.
True healing is done when you decide to take serious amounts of love and compassion to your deepest wounds. You have to be willing to go to the deepest darkest corners of your heart where you are hurting badly and gently touch those wounded places.
Avoiding this journey will pretty much guarantee that you will suffer for the rest of your life.
Every single day you have to be willing to confront your deepest fears and be willing to heal the wounds that are asking for your attention.
In the end, you find out that the big fear you had was not so big at all. It was a mirage. It was a shadow pretending to be something much greater than it was.
Don't worry about heading into the dark tunnel of fear...
Because you are the light. You will always be the light.
And as the light, you will illuminate even your greatest of worries.
