I am human

Humans aren't superheroes

I don’t feel good, and that’s okay.

I don’t feel great, and that’s okay.

I feel shitty, but my feelings are valid.

I am human, and feeling low is okay.

I don’t have to pretend that I’m fine when I’m not.

Acknowledging my weakness doesn’t make me weak or a superhero:

I’m just me.

It’s the way of life: rainbow & thunder, sun & moon, heat & cold.

It's my current state of mind; not my permanent state of mind.

The only thing that’s permanent is my ability to honestly assess and acknowledge my every state of mind:

High or low, good and bad.

I’m not possessed: I am human.

I’m not overreacting: I am human.

The validity of my emotions is not yours to certify.

I don’t feel good, and that’s okay.

I don’t feel great, and that’s okay.

I feel shitty, but my feelings are valid.

I am human, and that’s okay, too.
