“There are days when one feels not like being out there – it’s ok go ahead and hibernate. There are days when one wants to give affection – trust me there are many ways to do that and plenty of people wanting it. There are days when one wants to feel it’s ok to have needs – please don’t hide who you are. There are days when one feels like nobody understands you – it’s ok to play a low key and watch life quietly.There are days when one feels like is giving more than receiving – take a step back to refuel yourself, ask for help and simply stop for a breather.There are days when one feels like not sharing – share to give others a chance to know you.”
