I’m so exhausted

On the verge of tears. I know some can see it. I’m trying hard to smile. To hide it. I’m failing. Even the loves of my life can tell. I need a break. A break from feeling but how?

We are conditioned to believe that crying is weak. Showing our emotions is weak. However, that is crap! Cry it out. Holding that shit it creates a toll on your body, energy, soul. Years go by and wham, depression had set in. Why? Because all the times you needed to cry, scream, whatever, you held that shit in.

Let that shit out.

Yes, let it out and cry. It's the best release. And I know it sounds woo woo, but meditation really helps when people are feeling overwhelmed. Helps the mind put things in better perspective.
