Just Enough To Get Me Through

Posted in: Daily Life

My boss caught me crying in my office. He must have heard me hyperventilating, because my back was turned.

I have to be strong now. For my friends. This day isn’t about me, it’s about them.

And that’ll be enough to get me through.

I don’t know what’s going on. Whatever the problem is—frustration, anger, abandonment, or just stress—You’ll have to be strong for yourself. Look at it as a passing thing, and just another life experience that strengthens and enlightens.

Not only the bride and groom with pre-wedding jitters?

Admitting emotions, touching and letting go is part of letting them flow.

Once you get your sleep regular again, that’ll help.

@Uncle Joe — I can’t be strong for myself. I’m not capable of that yet. It’s so much easier to be strong for someone else. Maybe one day, I’ll feel important enough.

@Pearl — You’re right, I needed a good cry. It was talking to one of the few people who could help me that brought out those emotions, someone around whom I let myself be vulnerable. Sleep is also taking a toll on my mental state. I hope to be regular by next week.

not to keep spouting tao man but because a sage fallows tao his emotions do no harm thow its not that thay lose there power
so its good to let it all out man ur healing ursellf and thats what matters you need to build up inner strenght
i feel bad cuz i want to help you sit down and talk to you but im so far
and man u are important enough we all see that u just need to realize it
take care my friend

I know all that, but it’s hard to keep in mind. In some ways, I’m still a weak and emotional person. I’m not “there” yet.

I know I’ll be okay though. Life has it’s rough patches, and this is one of them.

1. If you were a happy-camper hide it all away type, I’d be completely suspicious of you.

2. To quote Spalding Grey quoting someone else (name escapes me now), “Happy people don’t make history.”

3. ::good thoughts in your direction::

Actually, I am a happy-camper hide it all away type to most. It’s only to my close circle of friends, and here, that I share my true self. Otherwise, I’d feel like I was imposing my feelings on others. If someone comes here to find out, then it’s their choice, and they should be prepared to deal with anything they read.
