It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

I met the saddest version of me this year.

I lost my spark. I lost my peace. I lost myself. I felt stupid. I couldn’t escape my own mind. I smiled and laughed around people while quietly falling apart inside.

This year showed me how much pain a person can carry in silence.

But it also opened my eyes.

I let go of people. I let go of the urge to find answers. I let go of explanations. I let go of the things that were never in my control. And I started to see people for who they really are.

I learned that not everything is meant to stay in my life.

And maybe… just maybe, losing myself was the beginning of something amazing.
