Just Enough To Get Me Through

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. @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.

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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::

  7. 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.
