Sometimes you need to talk to someone who won’t judge you, who asks the right questions that opens the flood gates of your innermost sorrows. Someone to witness your pain so you know that you are not crazy for feeling your feelings. Someone to hold the space for you to break down without feeling pity for you or see you as less capable just because you opened up, because you put the load you’ve been carrying down to break open. Sometimes you need someone who won’t try to fix you or stop you from feeling because they are uncomfortable, but who will hold a safe space for you to be vulnerable. We can’t continue pretending that we can do it all, that we are always strong and in control, that we are not bothered by the back-breaking struggles we face in this life. We know there are solutions but can’t see them because they hide underneath those unshed tears. If you find someone you can talk to like that, hold on to them, they don’t come around very often. . . . . #poetry #unshedtears #counseling #vulnerability #breakopen #breakdown #trust https://www.instagram.com/p/BuexftynXc3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iaw62jnsuc8q
