We always doubt ourselves about the way we are feeling.
But what you are experiencing is valid.
So acknowledge your situation and dive into your emotions.
I allow myself to hit rock bottom.
Because when you're hurting, pain takes over.
It rises and digs deeper into you.
And, normally, you isolate yourself during this state.
You create a wall because, in actuality, it feels bigger than you.
It is too much to handle.
At its height, only you can figure out what’s happening to you.
So letting it fill me makes me understand myself, what I’m feeling.
Then, whenever you're ready,
you pick yourself up and open your doors.
you pick yourself up and open your doors.
But it’s gradual and reoccurring.
Strong negative emotions strike inside you in an instant.
And it doesn’t slip away.
It bursts into different ways you can never imagine.
It takes time to stabilize.
So don't force yourself and have the time you need.
