A letter for you.........

It's Okay to Not Be Okay (2020)

“A fairy tale isn’t a hallucinogen that gives us hopes and dreams. It’s a stimulant that makes us face reality. So I hope you all read a lot of fairy tales and wake up from your dreams. … The moment you realize that and accept your reality, Everybody Be Happy. Happy Happy.”

Do you agree with this quote?

I’d been neglecting this as a wip since March and only finished it recently😅 This quote is from It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, probably my favorite K-drama ever. What I liked most about this show was its interpretation of fairy tales and how they correlated with the plot of the show. I personally think it’s an even better crossover with fairy tales compared to the Once Upon a Time series🤭

Another quote from this show that I feel personally rn is “... He may have only done it just once, but I can’t ever forget that.” Even in a period of time filled with bad memories, there is a single good memory in your heart that you could never forget.

This Wednesday September 21st, I'll be on a #SickleCellWarrior panel speaking about managing #chronicillness x #mentalhealth at @pennmedicine. I specifically asked for questions geared toward mental health and Sickle Cell not only because it is what I personally experience, but because we rarely ever discuss how the physical, medical, and mental traumas intersect and deeply impact the #SickleCellCommunity. We're out here doing the best we can everyday. So many of us do not give ourselves permission to ask for more support, especially emotionally. My sis, bestie, & fellow #SCD #Warrior @ediomi will be representing the @crescentfoundationscd nonprofit to share information on how they offer support to our community. ✌🏼 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 #overcomingdepression #overcomingstigmas #overcomingfear #overcominganxiety #SickleCell #SickleCellAwareness #Acceptance #SelfAcceptance #SickleCellAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAdvocate #itsokaytonotbeokay #SickleCellAdvocate #SickleCellWarriors #SickleCellAnemia #publicspeaking #publicspeaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CisdvYwOVfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I finally caved and started watching #Koreandramas I made the mistake of starting Extraordinary Attorney Woo which is still in progress so I had to switch to something that already finished streaming. I’ve heard good things about #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay so I went for it despite knowing it would make me #cry and cry I did. But it was so good! I would’ve preferred a #romantic comedy movie or short series, but IOTNBO was so well done (I’m so tempted to do the I watch it for the plot meme with the locker room scene #IYKYK ) - the actors were great, the costume designer did an amazing job w/ the clothes (the Filipino cosplayer in me LOVED Mun-yeong’s shoes!), and the writing and pacing were first rate. There were definitely funny moments to provide some levity to what’s quite a dark story about childhood traumas and mental health issues couched in children’s fairytales. . . It should come as no surprise I now have a crush on #KimSooHyun He reminds me of someone because of his strong facial features and lips, though he’s not as tall or beefy. He’s such a good cryer too, and he really sold the caregiver/protector role. Speaking of good cryers, #SeoYeaji was so good at looking fierce and channeling Gong Li but when the moment came to show vulnerability, tears would just come down her face w/o much effort. She mastered the cry on command beautifully w/o scrunching your face assignment. The writer(s) and director(s) of the show did a great job making the characters relatable. I could see aspects of myself in #MoonGangTae #KoMunYeong AND #MoonSangTae The soundtrack is also absolute fire! I caved and bought the whole album on iTunes. #psycho #psyche #butterfly #autism #lovestory #kdrama #netflix #lategram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChEZPBWOnge/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It will take some time for me to get over this drama so I’m sharing with you some of my takeaways from this beautiful production.

Embrace your feelings, for every shade of emotion is part of your beautiful spectrum. 🍃 It’s okay to not be okay. You’re human, and that’s your superpower.

How many times have you said "I'm fine" when asked how you're doing, even though you weren't really fine? It's become such a common automatic response that it's almost meaningless.

We say "I'm fine" for a few key reasons - to avoid burdening others with our problems, to maintain a sense of normalcy or control, or because we don't want to openly admit that we're struggling. It's a polite social nicety meant to end the conversation quickly.

But masking our true emotions with "I'm fine" isn't healthy or helpful long-term. It prevents us from getting actual support when we need it. Others can sense when something isn't really fine, even if we say the words.

The next time someone asks and you're not actually fine, consider opening up just a little. You don't need to dump all your problems on them, but acknowledging "I've been better" or "It's been a tough day" gives the other person space to offer an ear if you do want to talk.

Saying "I'm fine" when we're not can build up over time into feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Being a little more honest about our emotional state, even if just in small ways, can help us feel less alone and more able to work through what's really bothering us.

Depression Zone

Depression, for me, feels like being in a different time zone from the rest of the world. It’s like everyone else is moving forward, their lives flowing effortlessly, while I’m stuck, unable to join in the rhythm of life. I find myself seeking safety, wrapping myself in a blanket not at all for warmth but for that safety, a barrier between me and the world outside. This blanket becomes more than…

Life is not a bed of roses, and sometimes it can feel like the thorns are all we see.

This stress awareness month, let's take a moment to acknowledge the difficulties and challenges we face, and commit to taking care of our mental health.

------------------------

Remember that this too shall pass, Keep pushing forward, and know that better days are ahead.

WARNING TRIGGER POST… I was asked by a member of my mastermind group what I wanted to be when I grew up? My answer? I didn’t want to be anything because I wouldn’t be alive to see adulthood. I felt hopeless and had no future! Have you ever felt like that? What I Have Found Is… Feeling hopeless can be overwhelming and paralyzing, but it's important to remember that it's a temporary state of mind. Here are some tips to help you get over feeling hopeless: 1 Acknowledge your feelings: Recognize that it's okay to feel hopeless and that it's a natural human emotion. 2 Focus on the present: Try not to dwell on the past or worry about the future. Instead, focus on the present moment and what you can do right now to improve your situation. 3 Take action: Identify one small step you can take towards a positive change, and take action. This will give you a sense of control and empower you. 4 Connect with others: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for support. Sometimes just talking to someone can help alleviate feelings of hopelessness. Remember, feeling hopeless is not a permanent state. By taking small steps and reaching out for support, you can start to feel more hopeful and optimistic about the future. YOUR ARE IMPORTANT & PRICELESS..

Many people find themselves lonely on this high-pressure holiday but they don’t know that they have themselves to celebrate. Self-love ain't selfish!

It’s okay to be afraid and nervous it only means that you’re leaving your comfort zone and that is a good thing. • • • • Follow @overthedream Follow @overthedream Follow @overthedream • • • • #i #ok #instagram #oktweet #okay #okie #ok_hdr #oki #instagood #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytonotbeokay #okayokay #instalike #okaybye #it #itsokaytonotbeokayedit #okayy #itstime #itsokay #okaythen #itsmylife #imokay #itsokaytobesad #okayyyy #its #itsokaytobenotokay #itsokaynottobeokayedit #thatsokay #itson https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFqv3sBu5A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
