I’m ok with sad.

A Poem.

“I’m ok with sad.”

I wrote that in my journal today

And couldn’t help but feel proud.

I have a history of running from feeling

Feeling wasn’t safe

Feeling would kill me

I buried feeling underneath productivity

Underneath relationships

Underneath insecurity

So to be at a point where I can both feel

AND know I’m okay inside of it

Feels like a miracle

But it not miraculous at all

It’s been intentional

Thoughtful

Deliberate

I’ve made space for this

I’ve strengthened my feeling muscles

And my holding muscles

And I am grateful that I

Have what it takes

To be human
