Sometimes all we have to do is to allow ourselves to be just human.

I just want to tell you that I understand where you are.

You’ve reached your limit, you’ve been under so much that you don’t even know what to do anymore.

And because you are such a wonderful human being, you didn’t want to bother anyone with how you’ve been feeling.

You just stayed the same warm, charming and beautiful person that you’ve always been, only showing love towards others.

And when you are alone, is where you get to show your real inner self.

Where you feel so tired of fighting that something troubling you for so long.

Where you have thoughts of if it’s still worth going on.

Where you don’t want to do practically anything.

Where you don’t want to get out of bed.

Where you lost the meaning of being here.

Where you just feel so tired of life.

I understand. And I understand it’s hard.

And I know today has been harder than other days.

We have been thought that we always have to keep feeling good all the time. But we all know that’s just not possible.

We are not machines, but yet we treat ourselves as if we were. Not letting ourselves rest, always working, always trying to improve ourselves, always being better.

But we are not machines, we are humans.

Sometimes in life, we reach our own limitations, and we feel disappointed with ourselves when we get to them because we aren’t working as hard as we used to.

And that’s what society and social media have taught us. But they’re missing something very important, and that is:

Let yourself be human. Let yourself fall. Let yourself cry. Let yourself rest.

It’s time for you to clear your mind.

It’s time for you to just be, and only be.

Maybe this is the thing you need.

Maybe this is the thing you’ve been praying all this time, and it’s just a matter that you give yourself that opportunity.

Just for today, let yourself be human. Let yourself feel.

If you have the necessity to cry, cry then. Cry all you need. Cry all you haven’t cried during the past years, months, or days.

We as humans need to disconnect ourselves from everything from time to time.

So just for today, don’t bother connecting with anything. Not even with yourself. Not even with your thoughts. Disconnect yourself.

You by doing this just for one day, will not affect your life at all. So allow yourself to feel and disconnect from everything.

I can assure you that everything you are worried about if it’s going to come to you or not, will come to you. There’s no doubt in that.

But just for today, let yourself just exist. And you’ll discover a part of yourself you didn’t know was there. And it will be beautiful, I can tell you that.

We will get through this together. I will be doing the same today as well, by your side. Everything will be fine. Everything is fine. Just, for a moment, let ourselves be what we want to be.
