Sometimes its ok

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Sometimes its ok

Sometimes its ok not to be ok.

I just want you guys to know that sometimes we are all not ok.

I'm not ok right now.

But I think its important to realize that we can beat this. 

We can. 

We just need to try.

I want to make this a post of quotes to hear when your not ok. 

My personal Favorite:

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.  - Helen Keller

But give me your best one for a sad day.

back to the Down to Earth

i don't have any quotes but i recommend the songs Bad Day (Daniel Powter) and Brick by Brick (American Authors). they always make me feel better on sad days. if any of you are feeling bad in a way, even though i can't really do much about it, i sincerely hope that it gets better. i know you can make it through. <333

Great idea! Sometimes looking to poetry or song can ease some of the ache, in my opinion, too!

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them, that will only cause sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let thigs flow naturally in whatever way they like." - Lao Zhu

"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life." -William Morris

"Ride" and "Happy Girl" by Martina McBride are really good songs to listen to when you need some cheering up :)

that's all for now, but i hope it helps <3

This is so important. I love the cricket community, but I also see a lot of people struggle, and that is totally normal and ok. That said, if you are really hurting for an extended period of time, please, please reach out for help. Talk to a trusted adult, a teacher, a doctor, whoever you feel can support you. It can be hard to ask people, but please don't struggle alone. There are people who care about each and every one of you, so please care for yourself.
