Reasons to Stay

Numb

Do you ever feel numb?

I know I do.

Maybe it's chemical imbalances, maybe it's depression.

I call it awful.

The point is, everybody feels numb sometimes.

And you know what?

It's okay to feel numb.

It's okay to just want to scream and yell and cry all the same time.

It's okay to sit and stare at the wall for a while.

Because as a human, you have feelings

And sometimes they don't make sense.

Sometimes they do make sense.

And sometimes you just don't feel anything.

The important thing is to keep going.

To keep moving.

If you're not okay 

it's okay to not pretend.

Maybe somebody got hurt

Or you got in a fight

Or you broke up with your boyfriend

Or your dog died

Whatever it is

You can deal with it

You are strong enough

You are brave enough.

Even when you don't feel strong

Even if you just feel numb

I believe in you
