When you crumble...

I really did not want to do this as I'm naturally a very private person. But someone once told me the best healing comes when you reach out to others. So here goes...

A couple of days back I heard some really sad news about two friends of mine from back home. The devastating kind. The kind that breaks you to small pieces. Im sure no one around me noticed, cause if there's anything I know how to do its push my feelings so far down and smile. I still went to work. I still cracked my daft jokes. I still blabbed away on QL, even managing to pi55 off a few folk. I still...went on. Even if this speaks to just one person - it's ok to crumble. It's ok to feel like life is a b$%*ch because it is sometimes. And its ok to cry, dyu know how many toxins there are in a single tear? It's also ok to talk to people about it. There are so many friends who are just waiting for the opportunity to hold you. It also ok to just sit and be. Talk to God, get mad at Him and then, go find someone on QL to rant at :)

And then when you've done it all, or done nothing, remember that you can never be given more than you can handle. You ARE strong. You CAN walk through this. And tomorrow shall come.

Best wishes (and special thanks to all my buddies who've been there for me, whether you knew it or not - you know who you all are).

your right, life is so cruel sometimes, am sorry for whatever happenend and I can sense that you are strong enough, there is no shame in crying and asking for help when we need it the most, keeping things in and trying to deal with it alone is very hard, much better to get it out in the open and deal with it.

Hope you get stronger day by day,

my sincere wishes.
