Life is a funny thing. The ups, the downs, the laughter, the tears. That feeling in the pit of your stomach. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
The tears that sting your eyes, the ones that you fail to understand. Are these happy tears, or sad tears? Maybe they are just tears of relief.
Or maybe they are tears that have managed to escape, even though you have tried your hardest to hold them in. Even though you try to convince yourself that everything will be ok by pretending. Pretending that all is well.
The truth is however, that you can’t pretend to yourself. Not for long anyway.
The real truth is that sooner or later the tears will come out. Trickling at first, seeping through your eyes until they flow out, freely and openly. Rolling down your cheeks, like tumbleweeds rolling in the wind.
You will have to accept that’s there’s a problem. Because this is the first step to recovery.
Acceptance is the first step in your journey to recovery. The step that will help you feel at ease and release all the stress and worry that you have been carrying on your shoulders and inside of you.
Inside your heart and soul. Making you feel uneasy. Making you feel heavy, and making even the most simplest of tasks difficult.
After acceptance comes belief, self belief. And this step is the most important of all. Once you have self belief you have everything.
Then all tears, whether happy or sad, will be filled with a soothing feeling of freedom. Freedom and relief, which will act as a balm in the trials and tribulations of this life that we lead.
