Sayings & Quotes

[Lilith7]

"We don't always have to be strong
sometimes our strength is expressed in
being vulnerable.
Sometimes we need to fall apart to regroup
and stay on track.
We all have days when we cannot push any harder,
cannot hold back self-doubt,
cannot stop focusing on fear,
cannot be strong.

These are the days when we cannot focus on
being responsible.
Occasionally, we don't want to get out of
our pyjamas.
Sometimes we cry in front of people.
We expose our tiredness, irritability, or anger.
Those days are okay. They are just okay.

Part of taking care of ourselves means
we give ourselves permission to "fall apart"
when we need to.
We do not need to be perpetual tower of strength.
We ARE strong.
We have proven that.

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves
the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.
when we need to experience those feelings.

Today help me to know that is okay to
allow myself to be human.
Help me not to feel guilty or punish myself
when I need to "fall apart"

Melody Beattie
