Lately here, I feel as though I have completely ran out of words to say. I've had lots of lyrics hit home, but finding words of my own? That's where the hard part comes in. I think it's appropriate to talk about pain. It's something very present in the lives of everyone. Pain is something that cannot be avoided, to any degree. Trying to control how you're feeling is also very pointless considering you just can't. (Imagine trying to keep the rain from falling. Impossible, right?) The amount of pain you're feeling shouldn't have to be validated by anyone else either. IF YOU'RE HURTING, IT'S OKAY. I don't care if you broke your phone screen, or someone broke your heart. Each experience still hurts us no matter what. Maybe I just say all of this because I'm a pessimist, but pain is very real and very unavoidable (Is that even a word?). Sometimes you gotta realize that you have very valid feelings and it's okay to be in this state where everything hurts. If you don't feel like getting out of bed today, that's okay. If the pain is so bad and the only thing you did today was to continue breathing, someone is proud of you. I'm proud of you. If we skirt around this idea that pain is only for the movies or your pain isn't important, trust me when I say: if you tell someone, they'll listen. Some people give worse advice than others, so choose wisely. You know what's always a good idea? A school counselor (Officially). But in reality, they can be pretty scary sometimes. I'd like to think that confiding in any close friend(s) is the way to go. IF they're really your friends, they'll be there to help you through your pain, because chances are: They're probably carrying around some of their own as well. Painful experiences become to feel like bricks on your back, and if you don't let them off, you're going to fall over.
That's all I've got.
Much love
& you're always gonna be okay
