How To Save Your Sanity

 Is It safe to say that l am not alone in this?

Is it safe to say that it is normal to feel like this?

I can already feel those piercing eyes of yours wondering...where is she going with this?

Is it safe to safe that it is not a sign of weakness when one cries?

——

Sometimes it is necessary to let the tears roll down and scream, in an attempt to release all the emotions. It is important to note that crying is not a sign of weakness - that is an old school way of thinking. Crying is a response to all types of emotions.

One does not need permission to release what they feel.

The simplest analogy to explain this is: Imagine a drain that is blocked and without any intervention, you expect it to miraculously unblock itself. Obviously a plunger is needed to relieve the blockage.

It is the same with emotions. Sometimes we need to let it all out regardless of the judgemental 'Tom and Joe'.

Whichever way, people will always have an urge to judge, but l encourage you to 'DO YOU' and be true to yourself without feeling as if you owe anyone an explanation.

Trust me, you do not want spend the rest of your life having to explain yourself and all your emotions to anyone. You cannot live your life under the shadows of judgement. Do not allow anyone to make you feel otherwise.

Be true to yourself and save your sanity

    This is beautifully written! I often keep my emotions inside but have a nice cry and let myself feel everything once/twice a month. After, I feel more relaxed. I'm trying to let my emotions out more often especially with the isolation during the pandemic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts x

    This is such a truthful post. Sometimes all you need is a good cry and that's perfectly normal.

Why Camping Is Not For Me

S ometimes, one needs to leave the busy city atmosphere and be one with nature. My husband loves to surprise us with unexpected trips. Usually, we plan as a family but sometimes we can never really agree on where to go. In such cases, we have a family tradition where we leave the ball in my husband’s court and he gets to suprise us! This particular trip was surprisingly different from what we are used to and we aren't quite "outdoorsy" people. This was definitely something out of the ordinary and new for us to try out. O ur cabin was situated near a lake. It was truly a beautiful scene...until night time arrived - that is when everything suddenly went wrong. We were aware of the fact that we would come across different bugs, but we weren't sure to what extent. We had already been told upon checking in, that it is best to stay indoors if we aren't used to what comes out at night! That was not a problem for us as we were exhausted from the drive.
