Things I have learned this week:
I am human. I am not robot or machine, I am not made of metal or bolts. I will have bad days--days my emotions are out of control, days when I can't just "reign it in," days where I will fall apart.
This is okay. This is normal. I am allowed to breathe through those moments, I am allowed to BE in those moments.
And if those moments freak you out, or make you uncomfortable? You don't deserve to have me on all the other days when I'm fine.
I spent years pretending I was fine when I wasn't. And when I finally let myself fall apart, when I finally admitted that I'd been lying to everyone--including myself--some of the people I'd been most supportive of, people I thought could lend me their hands in return....decided they couldn't handle it after all.
I refuse to let myself do this again. I cannot keep pretending. I am not gears and wires, I am flesh and bone--and my emotions, no matter what they are, are valid.

It's sad that sometimes we forget this. That everyone has these moments, whether they let it show or not. I'm one of those people who can't hide anything. I don't even try. I just let it out and deal with the mess. And sometimes it is quite a big mess. Idk. I guess I still feel like it's healthier to let it out than hold it in.
