"There are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears.
So people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry.
They endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing.”
― Hideaki Sorachi
Are we ready to fly?
Not just yet. I stand before you as a little bird with broken wings.
However, my will to fly again is very strong and I know that day by day my wings will begin
to heal and then I'll be flying high above the clouds.
For now, I look like a little ugly bird dragging my wings around. Flapping them as I try to ascend
up to the sky, but not much happens, I can only go up a few inches from the ground to then fall flat
on my face. I already have two black eyes and a crooked peak, not to mention all the missing
feathers. Not a pretty sight. (Hides head in embarrassment)
But that is not all that this little bird has that makes her look so ugly. I also have puffy eyes
from all the crying I have been doing, just imagine that. (Hides head again in embarrassment)
I bet if I look at myself in the mirror right now my first reaction will be to say "aw" to
then continue with an "LOL" of how funny-ugly I look. :P
Now, don't think for a minute that I am putting myself down by no means.
I simply choose to laugh now instead of crying about what happened.
As I always say, I hide my tears behind a smile.
:)))))))) But wait, there's more )))))))).
See, that is a beautiful smile on this bird with the two black-puffy eyes and a crooked peak.
Just imagine that. Hmm, now that I think about it, I might actually be looking funny-ugly but
adorable-cute, and not just funny-ugly looking. (Peeks shyly with a little smile)
Yesterday was a very hard day for me as you all noticed.
I don't like exposing too much my dark days because I want my blog to always be a happy place
where people can come and read and leave feeling happy and inspired.
But, isn't sadness also part of life?
Sharing from time to time some of those, not so happy moments with you makes my blog
even more real since I am showing you that I too, cry and hurt and feel pain.
I am seen as a strong woman by many people...
"Ah, don't worry, she'll be fine, she's a strong woman."
and so they automatically assume that is easy for me to be ok in no time since I am this "strong"
woman that can get over anything bad that life throws at her, as if I am a rock.
But I am just like any other woman, with skin that can bleed and a heart that can be broken.
And just like any other woman, I feel pain, sadness, fear, loneliness, etc.
I don't heal as fast as some people assume, I simply hide the pain and the tears behind my smiles.
But one thing is for sure, I refuse to stay down when my heart has been crushed. I am a fighter
and I put up a good fight to get me back up on my feet! I guess that kind of makes me a
strong woman after all.
So for now, I'll be flying low for a while until these broken wings heal and get strong again.
But hey, at least I am not staying on the ground feeling sorry for myself. I refuse to feel victimized
by the sad things that happen to me in life. I will again fly so high that no one will be able to see
me from the ground. Just wait and see. They'll be saying,
It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Lori Novo!
(Looking down with a HUGE smile)
With no black-puffy eyes because tonight I cried my last tears!
