Hit the trail for a quick 4.5 after work. Little chilly, but not unbearable.

Day 6. I hate to be seen vulnerable in public, so I figured that’s probably exactly what I need. Cried myself a river this morning. I really feel like shit today, but I know that’s okay too. My critical voice is trying to kill me from the inside out, normally I would’ve smoked myself to numbness, but that’s not gonna happen today. Instead of beating myself up, I’m going to love myself up. Even when I feel like shit and look like that, too.

@Mno @Conor689908
Many thanks to the both of you, gentlemen.

I was taught from a young age that showing any kind of vulnerability makes you seem weak, so I learned to fake my way through life pretending to be okay and strong when I actually wasn’t at all. Our vulnerability is what makes us human and sometimes you have to put yourself out there to know the sky isn’t gonna fall when you do.
Being real became my main priority over the last few years. I don’t want to hide my feelings any longer just to make others feel comfortable while feeling like I’m dying on the inside. We need to show up for ourselves. It’s okay to not be okay. We all feel this way - sometimes or maybe even many times - but those feelings need to be felt - and shared! - to become the person we were meant to be all along. Thanks for your support. I appreciate it big time!
