Sometimes it is okay to break down.
Sometimes you need to break down.
Sometimes being strong is not healthy.
Sometimes all you need is to open up, to pour your heart out, to put forth your vulnerable self and let the pain slip away.
Because sometimes, holding it all in will hurt.
It will hurt beyond measure. Bottling up the tears will feel suffocating.
The pain will wrap itself around your throat like a thorny vine, making you cringe.
Letting it all out would calm your soul.
Sometimes we hold on to things, once beautiful, which hurt us now, because we fear that something so beautiful won't happen again.
Sometimes we don't let go of people in the hope that they will hold on to us. Sometimes we wait for someone, only to have them never come to us. Sometimes we live in the illusion that the one we want would be ours someday.
Sometimes we love selflessly, trusting that one day they will do the same. Sometimes we give it our everything and it all comes down in ruins.
This is why I say, let it out. Cry it out, talk about it, write about it, but don't let it rot inside you. Break down and rid yourself of the misery, but don't turn into a stone.
Just because you've been wounded once because of someone who was nothing but a lesson to you, don't stop believing in you.
Don't stop being a nice person.
Don't turn into someone that you yourself would hate.
