It wasn’t long ago that I found myself completely overwhelmed.

For two full days, emotions hit me like a wave I couldn’t outswim.

From the second I opened my eyes in the morning until I finally crawled back into bed at night, the tears just kept coming.

A Heavyness I Couldn’t Explain

What made it harder was not fully understanding why it was happening.

It wasn’t a single event or a big dramatic moment.

It was more like a slow buildup that finally spilled over, catching me off guard and leaving me feeling raw and exposed.

Letting the Feelings Run Their Course

There was no quick fix. No magic phrase. I just had to sit with it—allow the crying, the messy emotions, the exhaustion.

Oddly enough, once I stopped fighting it, something softened inside me.

Sometimes the only way out is straight through.

Looking back, those two tear-filled days weren’t a breakdown—they were a release.

A reminder that it’s okay to feel deeply, even when it’s inconvenient or confusing.

It’s a sign that the body and mind are trying to unload what we’ve been quietly carrying.

I’m not suddenly enlightened or perfectly calm now, but I do feel lighter.

More aware. More honest with myself.

And maybe that’s the point—sometimes the most difficult emotional days end up clearing space for something better to grow.
