I am alright

We close our eyes, take a deep breath, put on a smile, pushing the memories back we continue to say I am alright.

But are we? All the nights spend in tears and worries, anxiety crawling up our skin and feelings pushed away to wake up and look like we are alright. We are not alright. I am not alright. And sometimes it’s fine not to be alright. We are human with emotions and feelings, we make mistakes, get in trouble,get our heart broken and sometimes break hearts; and that is what makes us human. But in the flow of life trying to become a better child, a better friend, a better partner or a better parent we forget what we need. Maybe all we need is a little time for ourselves to listen to what we are thinking; what we are feeling; how long we can go on for. Exhausted in this life we push ourselves further and further away from happiness. If only we listened to ourselves. The nights when our mind and body both screams us to stop and take some time if only we took the time and had to courage to tell that I am not alright. It is not easy to accept that we are lacking, that we need support emotionally, that we are mentally exhausted and many times people don’t understand. But keep everything inside is worse. We push ourselves untill we can’t take it anymore. Try to keep every emotion inside till it threatens to burst out. And if you do so I will say you are not alright.

Are you alright? Maybe you are. Maybe you are not. And that’s alright.
