I'm not okay ... and that's okay

I'm not okay and that's okay. I don't have to smile or be happy all the time. Life is not always happy. Sometimes it is sad. Sometimes it is lonely. Sometimes it is confusing. Sometimes it is a bunch of contradictions. 

 

Is it okay to smile when I'm sad? 

Is it okay to be sad when others want me to be happy? 

Is it okay to wish things were different? 

Is it okay to long for what isn't? 

Is it okay to live only in the moment?

Is it okay to miss the moment for all the noise that masks it?

Is it okay to not be okay?

It is okay to smile when others expect you to be sad.  

It is okay to to be okay with things as they are, good or bad.

It is okay to not want what isn't.

It is okay to be in the moment only and not think about tomorrow. 

It is okay to change. 

It is okay to stay the same. 

It is okay.

 

I'm not okay and that's okay. I don't have to smile or be happy all the time. Life is not always happy. Sometimes it is sad. Sometimes it is lonely. Sometimes it is confusing. Sometimes it is a bunch of contradictions.
