You don't have to be okay right now. You can be exactly as you are. There is a quiet pressure to appear fine, To respond I'm okay. Even when something inside you is not. To keep things moving, To not make it heavy, To not let it show. And that pressure can be its own kind of weight. You are allowed to not be okay. You are allowed to feel what is real, Without needing to fix it immediately. Nothing about this moment requires you to perform strength. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. I'm sorry for pushing myself to appear okay. Please forgive me for not honoring what I feel. Thank you for staying present with me. I love you. You don't have to name everything. You don't have to understand everything. You can just feel without rushing, Without explaining, Without turning it into something else. This moment can hold you exactly as you are. I soften the pressure. I loosen the expectation. I release the need to be okay for others. I come back to what is true inside me. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. I allow myself to feel. I allow myself to be. I allow this moment to be enough. Nothing needs to change right now. I can stay here, Gently.
