you know it’s very easy for people going through tough times, and especially their mental health, to mask all their problems away. being open 100% is virtually impossible. even if we try our hardest. sometimes we need that push to speak, but then someone can easily say you’re...

being forced to speak. some days you can be so happy that you forget about all the troubles you’ve been through, but some days, as soon as those happy moments end, you crash and sink. fall and fall endlessly until you wake up the next day. it’s an endless cycle

let me tell you this. i’m struggling right this moment i’m typing this. like i feel i’m gonna crash into an iceberg and be critically traumatised. i may not look it, or i may seem happy, but that doesn’t mean this crap doesn’t happen.

we need to understand that even the most happiest person can be going through the toughest shit that they cannot comprehend but somehow still walk on their own two feet each and every day

this shit isn’t easy. all of this? is something of me. the days i say yeah i’m ok, i might be screaming in a corner out of all of the rushing anxiety through my bones

or the one bad thing said that my mind overthinks and thinks and thinks that i can’t stop the repetition

not gonna lie, and i sound selfish, but i long for an individual that i can just fall up on the spot and know that i can talk. i can finally talk. but we all know humans are unpredictable despite being “predictable”

moral of the thread? don’t judge. listen. take each word as a potential hint. the language used. the sentence formed. these are all hints and more to show that something may not be alright

you need to apprehend that saying you’re OK may not always mean you’re OK. it’s a norm we all have succumb to, where no clarification is asked, nor questioned.

it’s a sad world. a truly sad and shit world. but we survive and move on, even if we need to crawl up the damn stairs

you are key, and to have the right key, can finally open you up. and hopefully insha’Allah, enough that you know it’s gonna be alright. as much as you can handle and hold

thank you for reading.
