Sometimes, it's just not okay.

And I think we should be able to say that without feeling guilty.

We say "I'm fine" when we are not.

We say "it's nothing" when it is actually something. Sometimes we just don't want to admit that we are hurt.

Maybe because someone else has it worse.

Maybe because we think we should be stronger.

But does someone else's pain make ours any less painful?

I don't think so.

You are allowed to be tired, to be disappointed, to be angry, to be sad, and to admit that something hurt you.

You don't have to pretend that everything is fine just to make others comfortable always.

Stop, and ask yourself, "Am I really okay with this?

Or have I simply learned to live with it? 

Because there is a difference.

Maybe, this time, it's okay to say,

" No, it is, in fact, not okay".
