Something I just wanted to get out there

I hate when people try to tell you to “feel better” as if the only human emotion allowed is happiness and if I’m nothing less than happy it’s not alright. Sure it’s not a good condition to live in, being sad and remorseful and angry and resentful, but those are sometimes the purest of emotions and the ones that lead to eventual happiness. If you want me to feel better good, I’m glad, but don’t tell me I’m not allowed to be sad. Don’t tell me I’m not allowed to be human. I’m more than fraudulent smiles and choked laughs. I’m more than a girl skipping down a sunlight-coated hallway with flowers in my hair. I’m a real human with real feelings and when I cry, that’s just another sign that I’m alive and that I’m functioning. So remember it’s ok to be sad and it’s ok to let people know. It’s ok to tell someone you hope for their recovery but they’re allowed to be sad. Because it’s perfectly okay to be a human being.
