DON'T TELL ME THAT I'LL BE FINE

"You're gonna be alright", "It's just a phase", "You're just fine"-all these cliché statements don't really seem to work with me now-a-days. In fact hearing these remind me of how 'not so fine' I am. People close to me sometimes say such things but deep down I know what's eating me from the inside. At this point I really find it illogical talking my heart out to people, telling them of the mess I'm in. But I just do it, tell others about my misery in order to hear some consolation for time being. But then, reality hits... and it hits real hard. And I know that I have to take care of myself, fight my own battles. Yes, there are others to support us, but that is momentary. Realizing this at the earliest has helped me in many ways. It taught me to be independent and more self-conscious.

My message to y'all, is to not expect much from others but to stand up for yourself and fight your own battles.

Rather die your way than than live by others.
