What You’re Supposed To Feel
What You’re Supposed To Feel
Don’t let anyone tell you how you’re supposed to feel.
This is life, there is no “Well, if it was me...” scenario.
Everyone ‘knows’ what they would do in retrospect,
but the truth is,
if they aren’t going through the exact same thing with the exact same consequences you are...
they have NO IDEA what you’re going through.
“There’s always a choice” is not encouragement.
“It’s just your mindset” is not encouragement. Although people mean well,
their “encouragement” 😑 is based on how you make them feel emotionally:
so they deflect and play the “well, if I was in your shoes...I would just...” game
There may always be a choice, but it’s never simple.
If you fall from a great height with no safety net, no amount of mind changing will make that situation any better...
Mind you: these are the same people, who, when faced with difficulty will tell you that “you just don’t understand”
You’re allowed to feel how you feel...
just don’t let it win.
It’s getting dark and I know the pain is worse than it’s been... but you find a way to get through tonight and make it to tomorrow.
Then, do it again.
Find your truth.
You are loved.
You matter.
