It’s Okay to Feel Lost
We all have our own ways of coping with life’s challenges. While some of us turn to the people we love for comfort, others prefer to heal in solitude. For some, that means isolating ourselves from the world — deactivating social media, closing doors, and building a wall around our hearts. I believe we do this because, at times, we feel like opening up would be a burden to others. We convince ourselves that our pain isn’t worth sharing. And you know what? That’s okay.
When you feel the need to withdraw from the world, don’t hesitate. It’s not an act of weakness; it’s an act of kindness to yourself. You’re simply doing what’s necessary to find calm, to reclaim your peace. Take time for the small joys, at your own pace. Being alone gives you the freedom to be yourself without needing anyone else’s approval.
Sometimes, disappearing for a while is what you need. You don’t always have to wear a smile or pretend that everything is okay. You don’t need to show up just for the sake of others. Your well-being comes first. It’s okay to admit that you’re hurting.
Never suppress your emotions. Let yourself feel sadness, anger, frustration, or anything else that comes with life’s challenges. These emotions are a part of being human. Vulnerability isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a mark of strength because it means you have the courage to face your emotions, no matter how difficult.
Remember, life doesn’t end when you lose yourself for a little while. You can always find your way back. Take all the time you need to heal, to rebuild, to rediscover yourself. So let your bad days be just that — bad days. That’s life. Tough days will come and go, but they will not last forever.
Allow the heaviness of each night to pass and let the emptiness of each day fade, until they no longer feel so heavy.
You will be okay.
