If I’m being completely honest, I’m not okay.
Today feels… heavy. Messy. Raw.
I’m definitely sitting in my feelings-trying to let them be what they are without judging them, but it’s hard when there’s so much noise around me.
I’m surrounded by people I love, people who care, but each voice seems to pull me in a different direction:
- “Turn the other cheek.”
- “Stand up for yourself.”
- “Let go of the hate.”
- “Never forgive.”
- “It’s his loss.”
- “We need to protect him.”
It’s a constant contradiction. A storm of advice, all well-meaning, but none of it offering me peace.
The truth is-
My heart feels shattered.
My kindness feels stretched thin.
And my resilience, the thing I’ve always prided myself on, is starting to fracture.
I told someone yesterday:
“It’s hard to keep your chin up when it keeps getting hit.”
And that’s where I’m at.
Every time I take a step forward, it feels like rejection meets me on the other side.
Every time I choose vulnerability, it feels like silence answers back.
And still-I get up.
I show up.
But today, I’m not feeling it.
Not because I’m weak.
But because I’m human.
And this, right now, is what that feels like.
Here is just a little look into what it means to live openly – it is not always good days.
Sometimes it means just crawling back into bed.
