It’s ok to still be broken. 🖤

2025/4/4 Edited to

... Read moreDealing with grief can be a long and arduous journey, and it's vital to remember that it's perfectly okay not to be okay. Many individuals experience profound sadness, especially when missing loved ones like a father, as expressed with 'Miss you every day dad.' Communicating these emotions, whether through poetry or emotional conversations, can be a therapeutic way to cope. Engaging in conversations online within supportive communities, such as those around #griefjourney or #brokenself, can also provide comfort. It's important to connect with others who understand the pain of loss and can share their stories. This not only normalizes your feelings but also fosters a sense of belonging in a world that often overlooks those struggling. Through shared experiences, we can collectively work towards acceptance and healing.

You don’t have to be perfect right now. You don’t have to have it all together. It’s okay if you’re moving slower these days. It’s OK if all you did today was keep going. Some seasons aren’t about big wins or breakthroughs. They’re about holding on when it’s quiet. Still showing up, even when

🌿 Some Days Will Still Be Hard 🌿 Just when you think you’ve healed, a wave hits out of nowhere. A smell. A memory. A quiet moment. And suddenly, you’re not fine again. But hear me when I say this: That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human. Healing isn’t a finish line, it’s a

Feeling broken?
sometimes feeling broken doesn’t happen all at once. sometimes it’s years of carrying pain quietly. years of pretending you’re okay. years of trying to stay strong for everyone else while slowly losing pieces of yourself in the process. and the hardest part is that people often only notice

A black and white illustration depicts a man kneeling in the rain, his head in his hands, next to a table. A woman sits opposite him, crying with her hands covering her face. A single rose lies on the table between them, symbolizing heartbreak and despair. The man's shirt has 'MRAAN 23' on the back.
Why?? Broken 💔
There is nothing worse than a grown man still telling lies. Nothing more disappointing than a man who’s old enough to know better but still chooses deceit over honesty. A man who looks you in the eyes and lies...knowing how much you love him, knowing how much you’ve trusted him, knowing how much yo
