When don't bottle up our anger, we don't suppress our emotions, we forget to flush after a shit and many such things.
I put up a brave front:
1.Becuase I'm brave
2.Becuase I think I'm brave
3.Because I think I ought to be brave
But this is all BOLLOCKS.
All of us have that little boy inside who scared,tired &vulnarable BUT we need to put a samurai face.
Life is a battle, there are winners and losers, we are soldiers and we fight everyday. You win and they call you a valiant,decorated soldier, if you die they call you a valiant decorated Martyr. It's a win -win and we need to decided in which side of the win we want to be in.
It's not wrong to admit that you lose some battles , make a tactical retreat and protect your little troops called feelings. It's ok to be hurt. The most beautiful thing about being hurt is not the hurt but what comes after, healing.
Healing is one of the most beautiful human feelings I have encountered. To me, healing is like washing a pair of jeans after warring them a 1000 times.
It's the same old jeans, it gives you the same feeling but it feels like a nice warm cup of coffee on cold winter evening.
Hurt and broken but not down and out,
As the samurai say:
The difference between a master and beginner, the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.
