It's ok to be sad
Maybe it’s not how we want to feel. But sometimes its necessary to just go with it and not shove it down in an attempt to try and distract ourselves from it. I believe all human emotions need airtime.

Today I’m sad.
And it’s okay to be sad.
Maybe it’s not how we want to feel, but sometimes it’s necessary to just go with it rather than shove it down or try to distract ourselves from it. I believe all human emotions need airtime.
I often feel sad at the state of the world, but today it’s a bit more personal. It’s a change in a relationship, one that is simply the result of time passing by.
All relationships change over the years. It is ridiculous to think they won’t.
But my sadness today has both a happy tinge and a nostalgic one. And while I know I will be okay, I want to acknowledge the feeling and accept the change for what it is.
I don’t know about you, but I have a bank of treasured memories. Moments in time where life was near damn perfect. I feel lucky to have had those moments.
The thing about near damn perfect is that we rarely realise it at the time, because we are just living it. Back then, it was just another day. I know I can never return to those times, but when I think about them, I wish I could. I wish things could have gone differently. But we make our choices and then we live the consequences of them.
It’s big girl pants time.
Once, I had another life. One in a distant land. One that was safe and filled with love. And had I been a different type of girl, perhaps I would still be there.
I miss those times. I miss the bonds. I miss the love — all the kinds of it. The romantic, the motherly, the sisterly, the brotherly. Family.
When these bonds shift, no matter the reason, we experience grief. And grief is a process. The sadness is just part of that.
I know the situation has changed, but the love will always be there. Even though it is separated by thousands of miles, I can keep it in my heart, cherish it in my bones, and be so very grateful for it, because it changed me.
If you’re sad, be sad. Sit with it. Let it brew. Drink it up. Let it flow through you. Then, when you are ready, let it go.
If you're feeling sad, at any time, I've recorded a meditation that may help a little. You cand find it in the members area xx
