Check out this photo.
This picture is of my two younger brothers and I on the first day of school this year. Look at those smiles. Look how cute they are.
If you've ever read my very first post on "Messy & Kind," it's all about how my first day of school kind of sucked. Since you just checked out those grins, why don't you take a moment to consider how put together this photo is. My siblings and I managed to get a photo together where our arms are around each other. No one would have assumed that we had just been struggling to get Gavin to put his nice shirt back or to keep the dog inside the house or get Camden's hair to not completely cover his eyes.
I'm pretty decent at making it seem like I'm happy and put together most of the time. That leads to my 6/15 point though.
It's okay not to be okay.
If I'm not having a particularly wonderful day, I don't have to make it seem like I'm having the best time in the world. It's okay to be honest with myself. It's okay to be honest with the people around me. It's okay to not feel 110% everyday all the time. The world is a broken place and nothing on this earth is lasting perfection, so if we accept that not every day will be our best, then it makes life just a tad bit easier.
That's really all I had planned to share for today, so see y'all back here tomorrow.
Much Love,
Delaney Miller
