It’s Okay To Be Sad Sometime
I have days
when I am sad, I think most people have days like that. Even though we all have our sad moments or
days, society leads you to believe there’s something wrong with it. Believing this myth I would force myself to
pretend to feel a way I did not feel. I
would smother my sadness….force it back down.
I can no longer do that in 2013.
By smothering my sadness it never truly went away, instead it began to
fester. I've heard many individuals say
that happiness is a choice. This is a
bittersweet statement in my opinion. It
basically says that if you’re sad it’s by choice, but it’s not that black and
white. Yes happiness is a choice, but
how do you make that choice….how do you heal?
What do I
have to do to become a happier person?
That’s the million dollar question!
Here are my thoughts.
First, I
have to acknowledge that my pain/sadness exists. Ignoring it will not make it disappear. Secondly, I have to come to the realization
that though it exists, it does not have a place in my future. There is a reason this womb did not heal, so
lastly I have to make peace with my sadness/pain. So whatever is keeping me sad I have to find
a way to resolve it and make peace. This
will not necessarily be an easy thing to do, but it MUST BE DONE.
