It’s Okay To Be Broken

It’s okay to feel broken. You shouldn't be ashamed of being broken.



Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Developing this condition when I was 18 was defiantly not on my wish list for life, but you can’t go around sulking and pushing people away when it happens. It’s fine to cry and to mourn over your past life, and take a few days just thinking and just being. It’s okay not to be okay just as long as you’re going to be all right in the end.

I know it sounds rather corny and perhaps over emotional, but you can’t go around wasting time focusing on feelings that bring you down.

Ok, you can, but are you going to get anywhere in life if you do? NO


You are a human being; you are amazing, and are capable of more then you think.

If you fall down, stand back up. 
You can be down but not out.
A battle lost perhaps, but not the war.

It’s fine to be broken, it's fine to be down, but you have to pick yourself up and put yourself back together. You have to let the experience make you better, wiser and stronger. If you need help, ask for it. A friend, family member or even professional help. There is no shame in putting your hand up and saying 'Hey, I could use a hand over here'. You can't wait for someone of something to come along and magically fix everything. Only you can save yourself from your personal demons.

It’s okay to cry, but remember to face the next day with a bright, new smile. 


  




Look forward to a new day.


Piece yourself back together.


Love yourself for who you are and all your perfect imperfections.


Be yourself



And, one day, you’re going to wake up.

Your going to wake up and you will be better, wiser and  stronger. 



Then, you will realize you actually are okay

  1. Good timing for this one, I've been feeling down after recent flare ups, but my Mum used to tell me to smile anyways, because it's infectious, even to yourself 😄😄

  2. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
