Reach Out

For the longest time I have felt like it isn't okay to be sad or cry or show those kind of emotions. Mainly because I didn't think what I was going through would make sense to anyone else... I didn't think anyone could relate. So I kept it all inside masking everything.

But I realized today everyone goes through rough times. Some worse than others, but we all do have things on our plates. You just have to find the right person to open up to. Unfortunately I wasn't fortunate enough to find someone to completely open up to. I pushed all my emotions and feelings so far back in my mind I cant resurface them to talk about them at this point. But I was able to help someone else with their problems. It was so nice to be there for someone but it was sad at the same time. Seeing the pain and frustration in their eyes is almost heart breaking, but seeing the relief after realizing they aren't alone is unexplainable. Everyone deserves to have a shoulder to cry on or someone to lean on. So the next time you feel down and out just know someone out there is going through something similar or worse and there is someone out there that will be willing to listen and help you with things you just have to be able to reach out. And maybe if you see someone isn't having a good day or if you know someone is going through a rough patch be that pillar of support, reach out and make change in some one's day. You'll be surprised on how good it feels.
