I have to say :: if anyone has ever had to fake being happy & putting on a smile, you know it's exhausting & just defeating. Truly.
It's not always easy to smile & fake being happy & get involved in conversations or social settings when you're feeling down, but it beats the other option which is being alone & doing nothing. We have choices, right?
This weekend was rough. With a capital R. I could have stayed in & just emerged myself in my emotions, which I've done in the past. However, I refuse to let this beat me ... Especially when I know no is crying or heart broken over me. I guess that shouldn't matter, though, because my feelings are my own.
I'm glad I went out, got to church, and met up with a friend. It was not easy to do those things, but it was better than wallowing in my feelings and tears. It's going to be okay. This will pass. It always does. However, it doesn't mean it's any easier. Round two definitely knocked me down ... But, I'm hoping in time I'll get up and find myself again. Prayers, quiet time and love from friends have been my solace.
Thanks to my friend, Janice, for the photo below. :)
