I bean to think last night about how many people say that it's okay to not be okay. Which is a true sentiment, but it's also false during this day and time that we live in.
We are expected to always be happy and okay. But that's not how life goes.
One of the hardest things in life is to tell someone that you're not okay. The pressure put on us to always be fine is pushed to the point where when something is wrong it feels like we have to hide it from everyone and take care of it ourselves or we'll be seen as weak. But some things we can't take care of by ourselves. Some things have to be shared with others or they eat away at you until you crack.
These things are the hardest things to tell someone about. It's betrayals, depression, anger, and things like that. They are the emotions that people are taught to hide and to keep to themselves because they are bad things to feel. But because they are the "bad" feelings they are the ones that need to be shared the most, because they won't just disappear.
It's the same with the emotions on the other end of the spectrum too like love, happiness, and joy. They demand to be felt and shared because they are so powerful. These are easier to share though because they are happier and you don't feel the guilt that accompanies sharing a bad feeling.
That's why everyone needs someone to confide in. Everyone needs their four a.m. that they can call when they wake up and fell like the world is crashing down on them. Because at some point everyone feels like that and everyone's going to need someone to talk to about it because it'll just get worse if the feeling of dread or despair isn't shared.
Life's not easy and things are going to be hard sometimes, but if you trust in God and you have good friends and family there's nothing you can't do.
