Things lately have been a lot and just trying to maintain and stay sane in a way. I know hard times and bad things do not last as there is sunshine at the end of it.

It has been a little hard trying to “fake the funk” or put on this facade like everything is going so well and everything is okay. I’ve been trying to normalize admitting when I am not okay but in certain spaces it is not accepted. I didn’t realize that feeling what I feel was not okay with people and that is alarming to me. I didn’t realize that I had to be bubbly and happy and 24/7 and not allowed to show when I am frustrated with something or I’m upset or I’m sad or angry. I didn’t realize being yourself is not accepted a lot of places and I’m tired of being in those spaces.

I’m trying to navigate through life and not everyone has the same path or goes through the same things and all. We all just want to live our best lives and live life to the fullest. We want to accomplish our goals and just enjoy this journey and it is going to have its ups and downs. I just want things to be a little better and I am work towards that one step at a time. Honestly I can’t complain too much because I have to remind myself of the little things to be grateful for. I know things will start to look up and get better. I have faith and believe in it.
