There is a quiet pressure to always say, “I’m fine.”
To hide confusion.
To hide exhaustion.
To hide the weight you’re carrying.
But you don’t need to be okay all the time.
It’s okay to feel tired without knowing why.
It’s okay to feel lost even when you’re trying.
It’s okay to have days when your heart feels heavy.
Being human means feeling deeply.
And feeling deeply is not a weakness.
You’re allowed to acknowledge your struggles.
You’re allowed to slow down.
You’re allowed to ask for space.
Healing doesn’t happen by pretending everything is fine.
It happens when you allow yourself to be honest.
Some days will be easier.
Some days will be harder.
Both are part of the journey.
Be gentle with yourself in the moments that hurt.
You’re doing the best you can—and that is enough.
