Everyone has their hurdles.
I found that mine have always been my own thoughts.
.
When I played, I was better at hiding how much my failures affected me than at moving passed them.
My goal was to look like I had it together. I knew I was the one that had to deal with what was going on inside of me anyways, so why would I burden others with talking about it?
.
I had the first part right.
I was the one who had the power to get through the thoughts, but what I didn't realize was that I didn't have the tools yet. I needed people. It's OK to need them.
.
Maybe if we think we don't talk about what's going on, they wont realize how hurt we are by our own failure.
.
Maybe people won't see the mess going on inside of us.
But then how do we climb out? How do we get better & healthy? Isn't that the most important?
.
There's power in reaching out to those around you.
What I didn't understand before was that there's strength in vulnerability.
Ask for help. Be OK with knowing that you're GROWING. You don't have to look like you have it all figured out.
.
Growing hurts. Sometimes it's messy. As long as you're working through the hard times, you're going in the right direction.
