I know how difficult it is—to keep experiencing things that have the power to break you to such an extent that you can feel the pain in your bones. But still, you tell others you can deal with everything, that you can cope with whatever life throws at you. I know how hard it is to continue acting strong, despite it all. Sometimes, you just need a brea. From everything. Sometimes you just want to let it all out until your heart feels lighter—but you don't because you think you'll look weak otherwise. But can't you see—it's not your strength that helps you heal every time, it's the softness of your soul. You deal with every challenge in your life with the kind of wisdom that tells tales of years of growth. You're a warm-hearted person, which means that you hurt a lot more, you feel a lot more and you care a lot more. So, you need to stop lying to everyone and yourself that you're fine, even when you're not. It's okay to let the pain take its toll. Cry, if you need to. Accept the hurt and the regret that comes with it. Sometimes it's toohard to keep smiling through the pain, especially when all you want is a shoulder to rest your head on and someone's arms to hold.
