I used to think I was strong, that I can withstand any and every challenges that come my way but then I realized, these days, that statement is not always true. I always have the loudest laugh in the room and my mother would tell you that you'll know exactly when I'm in the house as it just all of the sudden becomes boisterous and lively.
That's why it always seem to catch people in surprise and ultimately in disbelief when I say, I am not alright, I am not feeling well and that I need some time and space to think... to just sit in silence and reflect. It's as if everyone else is allowed to be sick and have off-days but not me. Ah, the world is but fair, isn't it?
I'm sorry it's a bit of a sad Thursday post here at 20 York Street. I am off sick today and I'm glad I stayed home as work is becoming increasingly challenging. It's not always easy to put on a brave face and putting on a happy face despite all the struggles is exhausting and frankly, it seems a little dishonest. I have need to able to admit it to myself when things get too much, it happens to the best of us, doesn't it?
I wish you all a wonderful Thursday, it is only one day before the weekend after all and it's the 2nd day of December which means two things: we are a lot closer to Christmas and it is my beautiful aunt's birthday today...
Happy, Happy Birthday Tita Eirren!
with lots of love,
