There's No Shame in Crying

-

 



   Emotions are good, because they make us human. The world tells us that we need to keep our emotions held in because that is a sign of weakness. I like this quote that Johnny Depp said, "People cry not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long." I strongly agree with that quote. We all have strength, and when we have days where our emotions are on our sleeve; we are still strong. Showing emotion doesn't make you weak, it shows the strength you have. Hiding emotions never works out well in the end, because it can compromise your mental health. I'm still working on that; I hide my emotions because I don't want to inconvenience any of my loved ones with my problems, but I know the loved ones in my life are here to help me. There's no shame in asking for help, and finding good people to help you is a good step. Family and friends are the best support system.

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.
