Behind the tears

One of my favourite bands is Paramore and whilst I think back to their song "Fake Happy" and putting on a front, one I'm all too guilty of, not many talk about what goes on when tears do appear.

From the tears I've found my strength, my get-up-and-go, my reason to keep going. In these moments I feel the relationship with myself grow and self-love blooms without judgement of if I'm "worthy" of it.

Something that has been all too consuming lately is my self doubts and it's times like those when I need my support network around, they came out in force for me lately - I'm truly grateful for this! Oddly enough this has also been a stumbling block when I look towards those who inspire me and how they came from "nothing" and did it all on their own because they had conviction to change their life. It resonates painfully for me that I am very fortunate and supported that I sometimes feel that I should be doing better or more due to this fact, funny how the brain works eh?

These watercolour butterflies show in a visual aspect that from tears (water) something beautiful can form: #lovebutterflies

Coming from past hurt (one too long and for another time) it takes me a lot longer to trust and therefore open up to others, but slowly I'm feeling more comfortable doing so. Life can be such a cruel place but it also has so much beauty, my photographers friends are so inspiring @thatthismedia @jameslynd - go check them out! :) But also my aspiring author friends have really opened my eyes to this world of abundance and nearly limitless possibilities.
