It's okay to not be okay sometimes. I would be lying to you if I told you that I had it all together. Life is hard. Bad things happen and some things are just not explainable. No one has it all together. No one has life all figured out. It's okay to not feel okay. It's okay to feel like your missing something and its okay to feel unhappy. It's okay if you have to take medication to feel okay. It's okay to feel lost and its okay to like your just sort of wandering through life sometimes.
It's not okay to hurt yourself in order to feel okay. It's not okay to take in a substance in order to mask what you are feeling. It's okay to not have everything together but it isn't okay to blame yourself for it. Life and the people around us can sometimes makes it seem like everything has to be perfect or a certain way. But it doesn't. It's hard to be happy when the person looking back at you in the mirror isn't your friend. But a person who tells you how ugly and stupid you are. That's not okay. It's hard to be happy when it feels like a constant rain cloud is hovering over your head.
It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to cry and scream and pout. But it's not okay to feel worthless. It's not okay to feel like life isn't worth living. It's okay to feel like you wake up every morning and do the same thing over and over again. It's okay to feel stuck. It's okay to feel like you are falling apart. It's okay to not be okay.
It's what you do with not being okay that really defines you. Just know that you are not alone. Everyone feels this way. No one has it all together all the time. Everyone has their bad days. Let these days make you strong. Let them make you a better you. So when the rain cloud lifts and the sun comes out that you can truly see the beauty around you. That although everything might not be okay, it is still beautiful.
