I’M ALWAYS THE STRONG ONE, BUT WHO CHECKS UP ON ME?
<p>I’M ALWAYS THE STRONG ONE, BUT WHO CHECKS UP ON ME?</p><p>I’ve always been the one who makes everyone laugh. I bring the jokes, the gist, the crazy conversations, and somehow, I always know how to make things feel lighter.</p><p>But sometimes, the person making everyone laugh is fighting battles nobody knows about.</p><p>I’ve had moments where people I cared about drifted away, situations changed, and things didn’t turn out the way I expected. I smiled through it, kept being myself, and carried on. Not because it didn’t hurt, but because I didn’t want my pain to become my personality.</p><p>Sometimes I wonder if people mistake my laughter for proof that I’m always okay.</p><p>I’m not the quiet type. I’ll joke, laugh, gist and act like everything is perfectly fine. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t moments when I wish someone would look beyond all of that and simply ask, “Are you really okay?”</p><p>Because even the strong one gets tired.</p><p>Even the funny one has bad days.</p><p>And sometimes, the person who makes everyone feel better needs someone to do the same for her. ❤️</p>

This piece was inspired by my own friendship fallout and the emotions I carried behind all the laughter.
