what's underneath

Life, it knocks us down. But when it does, get up. It's harder if you stay down. Because sometimes if you don't pick yourself up, no one will. There are moments when you need to be strong and stand alone. Other times, you can rely on others. But why would you? Why do you need depend on someone else when you can take care of yourself.

Now for me, Honestly, I think I'm completely the opposite.

I need words from others to comfort and calm myself down. But I only ever show what I truly feel to only a number of people. But sometimes, even they don't know I'm actually sad until I tell them something's wrong.

Sometimes, I break down and cry. Quietly. But its the silent tears that hurt the most.

What I really need is to keep away from these feelings. I need to stop saying "me" and start saying "them" more. Their feelings matter more. I'm a strong girl. I'm sure I can keep on hold what I'm feeling and prioritize what others feel first.

The prophet SAW peace be upon him, was a great man who cared about others more and cares for what others feel more than what he felt. How amazingly strong was our prophet SAW. I hope I can be as strong to take care of what others feel too.

Peace be upon you,
