When I was looking for some cute mental health quotes, I came across one that really hit me: “It’s okay to fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart, and we still love them.” A lot of people think it’s not okay to be sad, like you have to be happy all the time or something’s wrong with you. But that’s just not true. We’re all human, and it’s totally normal to feel sad or like crap sometimes.
And to be honest, those tough days make the good ones even better. Emotions are like a rollercoaster, with ups and downs. Imagine if everyone was always happy, like a straight line that never changes. Sure, they know they are happy, but eventually, it starts to lose its meaning. Without feeling sadness, we wouldn’t really appreciate all the happy moments.
Instead of dividing our emotions into “good” and “bad,” we should embrace them all. Without sadness, anger, or fear, we wouldn’t know what happiness, joy, or freedom really feel like. Plus, every emotion has a role in our lives. Anger helps us fight against problems, joy helps us appreciate things, fear keeps us away from danger, and so on. Even guilt and disappointment teach us important lessons. No matter how tough these emotions feel, they play an important role in shaping us as people and helping us navigate life. So instead of pushing away all the “negative” emotions, we should embrace them in our daily lives because they help us become stronger and more resilient.
