I wish we would normalize talking about the days when we’re not okay.
Not for attention. Not because we want someone to fix everything. Sometimes we just need to be able to say, “I’m having a hard time,” and know we won’t be judged for it. The truth is, every single one of us is going through something.
Some days are beautiful. Some days are hard. Some work days are great, some are rough, and some are just okay. Sometimes friendships end because the relationship is no longer aligned with who we are becoming. Sometimes someone we love passes away and grief changes our world for a while. Sometimes trust gets broken. Sometimes we have to create boundaries with people we never thought we would need boundaries with.
Sometimes life is freaking amazing. We take the trip. We reach the goal. We laugh until our stomach hurts. We experience something we’ll remember forever. We heal something we thought would always hurt. We should be able to talk about all of it.
Recently, I’ve learned that when trust is broken, rebuilding it can be incredibly difficult. I’ve learned to pay attention when someone’s actions continue to show me who they are. I’ve learned that boundaries are necessary when it comes to protecting my peace. I’m still learning. Still healing. Still growing. We all are. I think if more people shared the real parts of their lives, we would realize how much we actually have in common.
Maybe your story isn’t exactly like mine, but chances are we’ve experienced some of the same emotions along the way. That’s connection. So celebrate your wins loudly. Share the beautiful moments. But don’t feel like you have to hide the hard ones either.
It’s okay to not be okay. I would rather live authentically and find the people who connect with the real version of me than spend my life trying to fit into spaces I’ve already outgrown.
Protect your peace. Love your people. Give yourself grace on the hard days. And give other people a safe space to be human too. ❤️
