Maybe it's okay...

I want to apologize to you guys. I probably shouldn't feel the need to apologize for this, but I'm apologizing anyway. My posts have been mildly depressing lately, and I haven't been posting as often as I want to because I've been feeling stuck and uninspired. (Also, my internet has been spotty lately, but that's beside the point.)

I try to post at least once every week, and I'm constantly trying to come up with new ideas. But it's hard to inspire other people when I can't even inspire myself.

So today, I've decided to shave away my desire to be inspirational and motivational. I guess I'm just hoping that you'll get something useful out of this post anyway.

I'm not completely sure that I know how to be an adult.

Maybe that's okay.

I'm not completely sure where my life is going from here.

Maybe that's okay.

I have a lot to learn, and I don't know where to start.

Maybe that's okay.

Sometimes I want to step away from life and not give a shit about anything.

Maybe that's okay.

I honestly feel like I don't deserve it when people tell me how wonderful I am.

Maybe that's okay.

Maybe there doesn't have to be a lesson or life-changing epiphany concealed within these statements. Maybe it's okay to give myself permission to NOT be okay.

  1. I can relate to all of that ever so much. And it is totally fine not to be dealing out amazing tidbits of information all the time. Sometimes it's okay to just let other people know you're human, too, like the rest of us. Because that's how we can related to each other and bond and help each other get through this madness called life :)

    1. Thank you, Celynne. I've been complaining about feeling uninspired all week long, so I just decided to write a post about feeling uninspired! Haha.

      Thanks for reading. <3

  2. Hi Madison,I can definately relate to "emotional quicksand". I have mood swings.High and giving advice..and low and feeling blue. I have found a group to talk to every thursday. I am not alone. The best way I have found to stop my mind from negative ruminating is exercise. Take care, Mike.

    1. Thank you for commenting, Mike. I definitely have to work hard to manage my mood swings. Exercise helps me too---specifically walking. I try to go walking on a regular basis. :-)
