It’s okay not to be okay

Society is crap. They tell us to be strong, they tell us to “man up”. Is any of that worth it?

No it really isn’t.

It’s okay to have a bad day, it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be sad. Everyone has bad days and bad times in life. This doesn’t mean we should give up, but it also doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get sad about it.

Just because society says you can’t be sad doesn’t make it true. Your life is in your hands. You have the right to control yourself and your feelings.

It’s funny how every time we feel an emotion close to pain, people always tell us that others have it worse. Just because others have it worse does not mean you can’t be sad.
You can be sad. You have the right to hurt. Hurting doesn’t mean giving up, it just means dealing with the emotions. It means feeling something and that is completely okay.

You could be having a horrible day and you are allowed to be sad about it. You could have dropped your donut and you are allowed to be angry about it.

Let’s make a pact, together. No one can tell us how to feel, we will feel what we want to feel.

IT’S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY.

Is it okay to take a break?

Life is weird isn’t it? We are born, made to go to school, college and then work until a point where we just can’t do it anymore. Is that really how we should be living?

These days life moves so fast that we don’t even get time to breathe. It’s sad. It’s sad because sometime we just need a break and because of how messed up society is, we think that taking a break is wrong. Is it though? Is it really?

Is it wrong to take a year off school to just gather yourself and decide what you actually want to do? Is it wrong to take a couple of weeks or months off your job to decide if that’s what you really want to do? I don’t think so.

These days as soon as you’re done with high school you’re told to go to college. But hey, what if I don’t want to go to college now? What if I don’t even know what I want to do in the future? What if I just want to take a break to think everything through. Is this really wrong?

Why is it that whenever someone decided to take a break, so much judgement is thrown at their faces. Don’t individuals have the right to decide what they want to do? Like what if I don’t want to go to college immediately? What if I want to think about what I want from the future before I go for it? What if I don’t want to take up this job just because it pays well? What if I actually want to do something I like?

Am I allowed to do that without being judged? Am I allowed to just sit at home for a couple of months and think over what I want to do? Am I allowed to start my own youtube channel or write a blog because that’s what I want to do? Or do I have to confine to society’s rules and do everything they say?

The answer is I can do whatever I want. If I don’t want to go to college for a while, I won’t. If I don’t want to work immediately, I won’t. If I want to start up as a creator, I will.

This isn’t just me. This can be you too. So this is me telling you that it’s okay to take a break. It’s okay to skip a day of school if you’re not up to it. It’s okay to take a year off college and decide what you want to do. It’s completely okay to quit your job and take up something that you love.

If you’re reading this, take a deep breath. Take a minute for yourself and think, ‘do I really love what I’m doing?’ . Do you? Do you love what you’re doing? Take a break darling, it’s completely okay.
