Something I wrote... It is Okay to Feel. ~ ! TRIGGER WARNING !

One thing that I have discovered over the years is that yes, I admit it, I can be a bit of a hypocrite; I prefer to be there for others, to help others, to put myself out for them at my own expense. In a way I guess I am being selfish; it distracts me from my own thoughts and worries, it gives me a sense of fulfillment that of which almost equals to the rush of the kisses that scar my wrists.

However... I have also discovered, despite the hours upon hours of denial that overwhelms me sometimes. it's OKAY to Feel.

It IS okay to FEEL.

It is okay not to be a ray of sunshine every moment of the day.

It is okay to want to block everything out and dissolve into nothingness.

It is okay to want to hide behind your mask of insecurities.

It is okay to be depressed.

It is also okay to have those 'good days'.

It is okay to smile.

It is okay to give yourself permission to BE okay.

Sweetheart, it Is Okay To Feel.

It is okay to be yourself.

It is okay to not have chosen a 'label' for yourself.

It is okay. It will be okay.

It.....will be...Okay.
