Are we afraid of showing weakness?
Once opon a second time arond: Harder, better, faster, stronger? Is that how we should be and the real question is: are we? Any of us? I don't think so. We aren't any superheroes or robots. Of course we are independent in many ways and the confidence is there in many of us, especially when it comes to things we are good at - school, sports, socializing, art, music etc. And it should, don't ever loose that confidence! But don't forget, everybody has a weak side too. Many times, a side we don't want to show. We rather show people the good, beautiful and glamorous side of ourselves over a coup of coffee or two. But why? We are only humans and everybody gets hurt sometimes, cries and needs someone to talk to. And THAT is how I think we'll get stronger! If we don't feel pain, how do we know when to feel happiness or love? I talked to a friend about this today, who was really sad and hurt but too afraid of showing. I started to think about this. Is it unattractive to show sadness and weakness? Some books and magazines says. And if, for some reason, it's true let me just say: WHATEVER! Don't think about that. If we fail in school, if we get through rough times in life, if we fight with our boyfriend or friend aren't we supposed to be sad and feel bad. Lets say your friend calls you, that same day you got a bad grade at that history test, and asks how you feel. Don't lie to her and say "I'm good!" just to be good. Tell her the truth! That you actually failed on that stupid history test and that you feel really shitty. And now, the real point in this whole thing comes, be sad that day. It's okay! and it's not a crime to be! You can show and feel weakness sometimes!
It's okay to cry sometimes.
