You're Allowed
There will be days, when you will put up your best and people will love you
And there will be days, when you’ll put up your worst and people will leave you
They’ll tell you to move on, and get over it
They’ll tell you it’s very normal to go through something like this, and there are others who are going through much worse
What I’ve never understood is why do I have to compare my sorrows to other’s and feel happy about it? That person is going through something much worse, and I respect it. But why do I have to look back at their sorrows and feel good about it? Do we have to be this self-centred and this mean that we feel good about having such little sorrows as compared to someone else? And maybe, the sorrows I have are at an emotional level where I don’t think anything could get any worse. Am I not allowed to feel sad about that? And if not, then why?
Majority of people leave you at your worse not because they don’t want to be there for you but because they don’t know how to deal with it. They don’t know how are they supposed to react and how are they supposed to understand you and comfort you. But the fact that they leave, is still questionable.
When you’re happy, people love you. They love how witty you can be and they love how you can crack some of the lamest jokes. Some will even refuse to understand how optimistic you are; but who cares! You’re happy.
You’re allowed to be jealous and you’re allowed to feel low.
You’re allowed to have that heavy feeling in your heart which makes you sink deep in sorrow, and you’re allowed to feel jealous of that other human being having the attention of someone you want. As much as you’re allowed to feel happy, you’re allowed to have these emotions as well.
You’re allowed to fall in love oh so quickly because you know he’s the one, and you’re allowed to wait and take your time because you’re not sure if she’s the one.
You’re allowed to feel emotions that make you feel like you’re the best person today and you’re allowed to feel like you’re nothing; because you want to grow and push yourself.
You’re allowed to be yourself, even if there are 16 to 100 versions of you. But never put up a mask for someone, just because they don’t understand you.
