Today...I cried!!!
Life can be so overwhelming sometimes that you may not even know or understand the magnitude of the pressure that surrounds you. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things that you forget to check in with yourself! To ask yourself, am I okay? Not just with your life but with your self! You may be surprised at the answer. What if you are saying "Yes!" But your body is saying, "No!". Nothing has to be "wrong" for us to cry! Everything could be going "right" but we still resist the urge to cry...tears of joy! Well, today...I cried! For all of the times I pretended to be strong but my heart was breaking inside! For all of the times I said, "I forgive you!" but I could never trust anyone that way again! For all the times I had a goal but for whatever reason, I didn't meet it. For all of the loved ones I have lost along the way, for one reason or another. I cried because this is my God-given right! Because there are people in this world who will go to extreme measures just to watch you fail. Because there are children who will never know the love of their father or the genuine embrace of their mother. Because one day you are here and the next day you are gone! Because pain is real, heartache is real, disappointments are real, trials and tribulations are real! I cried because there are times when no matter how alive I may look...I feel like I am dying deep down inside! So because Jesus wept, I gave myself permission to cry. And now my day must go on
