It’s Okay To Cry

It’s okay to cry. It’s okay that there are times where you feel weak. It’s even okay to feel damaged and hurt enough that we lose confidence in ourselves or this world at times. It’s okay to scream at the top of your lungs in aguish, feel an hopelessness in the pit of your stomach, and just want to disappear. We’re humans facing a reality of a darken world where all we can be is lost and fall down to our knees is the readiness to give up.

Sometimes it’s better to admit that you have painful scars hiding behind a personified mask of a smile, for a fake smile is like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. In a place where people are killing each other each day, where people are dying and saying goodbye for the last time, where hearts are shattering into broken pieces, and where bad things seem to always happen to good people; you don’t always have to be strong and look perfect as the pain of suffering eats away at you inside. 

It’s okay to cry. We already know that the world changes in a instant and life could surprise you and give you happiness the next day; but we’re all still going to have bad days. Sometimes, we need to let out our frustrations and feel sadness so we can eventually move on and appreciate the beauty of when a real smile etches across your face.
