There goes a saying ,” It’s OK to be not OK.”
I believe in this completely. Yes what’s wrong to be not fully happy always. We are all down , be it with work pressure or stress. We feel low, distracted, shattered but pretend ok. I hate this mask. It’s deadly.
In a masked world I want to breath fresh air with no makeup. The skin soaked in sun or morning dew. The black circles need not to be covered with concealer. What to conceal? It tells of the last night agony of a woman who was feeling lonely , alone in this so called big world, it tells of the tears she sheds and wet her pillow.
Yes I am not OK. But somehow I managed to wake up in the morning, took resolution to continue my journey of life with a strong mind. I will fight against all odds to walk alone , try to be OK , but not pretend to be OK. I have drawn a line , the life to show the social media , the life to be hidden from social media.The juggling between OK and not OK continues not ending .
But I try to be honest at least it’s better not to be a pretender. I will come back soon when I am OK, yes I cried a lot but not with the shower on but standing beside the open window. I know I am not wrong, I can come back , I can conquer the world.
But I will never pretend to be OK.
