Anyone can smile through the pain.
Life is different for each and every one of us. You grow up being told that someone’s always got it worse than you, But that shouldn’t take away from the pain you feel. What hurts one person, can be a breeze for another. Always believing someone has it worse than you, Makes you think that what’s going on in your life doesn’t matter. It’s okay to be sad about getting a C on a paper. It’s okay to be happy about getting a C. It’s okay to be sad knowing someone took advantage of you. It’s okay to be happy knowing it wasn’t worse. It’s okay to be sad when you get pregnant unexpected. It’s okay to be happy knowing you’re having a child. It’s okay to be sad when your parents get divorced. It’s okay to be happy seeing your parents move on and be happy. We all view experiences in life differently. We all view pain in different ways. It’s easy to push people away, When people don’t see your worth. It’s easy to to hide your emotions, When you’re used to dealing with everything on your own. It’s easy to say people’s comments don’t get to you, When you tell yourself it’s some low life living in their parents basement. It’s easy to say you don’t need anyone in your life, When you grew up dealing with everything on your own. It’s easy to act tough all the time, When you’ve always fought your own battles. It’s easy to be closed off, When no ones cared to listen to your side of the story. It’s easy to smile through the pain, When you were always told your problems don’t matter. It’s easier to push away your demons, Than to face them head on. Life isn’t supposed to be simple. There’s no right or wrong way that you should react to a situation. Everyone’s different. You’re not allowed to say whether or not you hurt someone. How they feel is valid and should be heard. People have feelings. We aren’t robots for a reason. We feel pain just as easily as we feel joy. There’s always gonna be someone in this world that has it worse than you, But that doesn’t change the fact that you feel hurt. You don’t need to hide your pain because you feel it’s a burden on others. You don’t need to hide your pain because you feel like it’s not bad enough. You can’t hide your pain to pretend it never happened. You can’t hide your pain to allow others can be happy. You’re allowed to express how you feel. Whether others understand or not, Your feelings are valid. Your feelings matter.
