Let it out

 We live in a world that constantly tells us to be strong, and be your own hero. They tell us that to cry is weakness, so we tilt up our chin and fight the emotions inside of us. It's hard to keep it all in though. If anyone is like me, I tend to bottle things up again and again, until I feel like I'm about to explode. And when I feel like that, I want to run far away into the middle of nowhere and just let out a really good scream. It's easy to feel like being strong is not showing emotion, but rather, it's just the opposite. It takes courage to pull away my brave face, and let someone else see me for who I really am. I'm not perfect, I don't have it all together, and I can't do this on my own. And I am so thankful that I don't have to do it alone, for I have a Savior who has promised to NEVER leave me, even in the storms of life. It's okay to cry; He hears us, and understands our pain. Just let it out. It's far better than hiding away behind our mask, and locking everything away.
