What a brave face you have on there.
Youre showing the world youre tough, you dont need anyone else, youre okay.
And darling, you may be okay.
Lisa Fotios
But you know what else is okay?
Finally reaching your breaking point.
Because sometimes, life gets to be too much.
Sometimes, for stay brave, you’re gonna wanna break.
you oughta feel the things that youre stuffing down in the name of strength.
Just c’mon, dont forget how to feel.
Dont let anything bring you to the point of no return.
I know, youre worried that once you show the world youre broken, you fear the consequences.
What will they think?
How will they respond?
How will I ever put my mask back on?
See the thing is, you cant fix anything until something breaks.
Once you finally allow yourself to break, you will finally allow yourself to heal.
Once you finally allow yourself to be weak, you will finally grow stronger.
You cant learn from mistakes until youre willing to own up to them.
So, dont be afraid to feel everything, and let yourself break.
Break so that you’re free to rebuild yourself even stronger.
Break so that you’re able to finally validate how youre feeling.
Break so that your wounds can begin to heal.
Sure there may be scars, but those scars will be stories of how you survived.
When you feel yourself starting to break, dont ice out the world.
Dont isolate yourself from the people who love you, and who are willing to help you.
Or maybe you let two people see it.
You do not have to go through this alone.
You have been strong for so long.
Its time to free yourself of that burden, even if just for a little bit.
The world wont always seem so dark and foggy.
The rain will soon clear and youll be able to appreciate the sun again.
Your heart wont always ache this much.
Remember, you cant fix anything until something breaks.
