Just because other people’s situation seems worst than yours, it doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to feel your pain. Just because your struggles are not as harsh as other people’s, it doesn’t mean that you cannot have them. Just because it was worst before, it doesn’t mean than nothing is going on. Sure, comparing our situation puts things in perspective and helps us to look at the bigger picture. It also allows us to help others. However, whether your struggle is small or even a creation of your mind, it is still there and it has to be acknowledged.
Ever had a small rock inside your shoe? Same principle applies. Yes, you can still walk and it’s not extremely painful, but if you leave it long enough it will puncture your skin cause more pain.
Minimizing your worries, doubts, fears and pain does not make them go away. On the contrary, by invalidating your feelings you become resentful. The more you repress and hide, the deeper the hole inside you becomes. The more pain you will feel.
So breath, let it out and let it go.
In ❤️
