It\u2019s okay to want a different life when I no longer find contentment in mine<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to not have answers, nor feel I must find them<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to let others help and accept their support<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to accept the big, undefined changes in my life<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to let these changes happen without needing their \u2018whys\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to feel lost and not know what tomorrow may bring<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to lean on others and show my vulnerability<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to admit that my path may have been wrong<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to mess up sometimes, as long as I keep going<\/em>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to feel scared and overwhelmed in tough times<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to lower my defences and stop fighting life<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to forgive myself with gentle self-compassion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to let others see I\u2019m not as strong as I seem<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to accept love without feeling I owe anything<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to admit that I\u2019m lost and lack direction<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to ask questions, no matter how big or small<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to feel alone while I wait to find what\u2019s next<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to believe I don\u2019t have to fear, for hope exists<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to kneel before God each night, begging for guidance<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to admit I don\u2019t know why, but I\u2019m ready to learn<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to accept I\u2019m not perfect, but my heart holds good<\/em>,
It\u2019s okay to change and embrace that shift, knowing it\u2019s never too late<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to accept I may never have answers, nor need them<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s okay to feel I\u2019m okay, just as I am, in this moment<\/em>.
It\u2019s okay to free myself from the person I once was<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
