I'm Not Ok. But I Will Be

I may be down, but I am not out. And nor are you.

Have you ever felt alone? Felt like the things you do aren’t good enough? Sometimes you feel like you’ve been on the bench so long you don’t know what to do to get back in the game. Feel like you’re not ok? I get it.

Today I feel that way, and maybe for a little while now I have felt this way. Often life throws you so many curve balls at once you don’t know what to swing at. You feel this weight of uncertainty, or maybe there has been the loss of something, someone. You feel the highs drop so low. We are in a time of emotional, political, societal turmoil. You’re human. I get it.

But let me tell you something you may not hear, or may need to hear again. Everything will be alright. It is ok to say “I’m not ok. But I will be.” You will be ok because you are strong. Persevered. Loved. I may be down, but I am not out — and nor are you.

Today, I am not okbut I will be.
