Let’s Be Honest: I’m Not Fine

September 20, 2015

How many times have you said “I’m fine” when you really weren’t fine? Your world feels like it’s crashing and you have no control, so many things are going wrong that you wonder if God is even paying attention, you feel alone and even empty inside, yet when someone simply asks, “How are you?” or “Are you okay?”, you utter, “I’m fine” – sometimes with a forced smile.

Why do we do that? As women we tell each other and even our husbands or boyfriends that we are fine when inside we are feeling everything BUT! I can admit that I don’t always say what I mean. Even when things are clearly not fine, I find it extremely difficult from time to time to express this to others. I don’t know how many times I’ve said “I’m fine” and that “nothing’s wrong” only to be silently sad or angry (or my favorite – passive aggressive) for the next few hours or so until I forget about it instead of expressing it and dealing with it.

I’m sure this common trait among women is something that sounds familiar to us all. You’ve gone throughout your day and sometimes longer pretending that everything is fine; trying to keep it cool because saying how you really feel isn’t exactly “desirable”. Just think about it – if someone asked you how you were doing or what’s wrong and you responded, “I feel sad, I’m depressed, I’m angry, I’m hurting, I feel empty and alone, I’m confused, I feel out of control, I feel unloved, I feel ugly or fat, my feelings are hurt…”, how do you think they would respond? I mean all of that is pretty heavy and not exactly desirable, right?! We as women don’t want to seem like we’re crazy or like we don’t have it together because of what’s expected of us. We can be emotional, but not too emotional. We should say how we feel, but not how we really feel. If we go too far or say too much then we’re “crazy”, but if we keep it in and just pretend to be fine then we’re good.

But what’s wrong with saying you’re not fine when you’re not fine? Why do we pretend to be okay when we’re hurting inside? Why are we afraid to say how we truly feel? For me, it’s always been a fear of what the other person would say, how I would make them feel or how they would perceive me. We as women suppress our feelings to protect ourselves from other people – what they might say, how they might feel or how they might view us afterwards. As a result we say what we think they want to hear, “I’m fine”, “It’s okay”, “I’m not upset”. While trying to protect ourselves, we actually hurt ourselves.

“There’s nothing enlighted about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.” – Marianne Williamson

There are many funny memes and videos related to this topic. As funny as the jokes are, they are so true. Check out this Buzzfeed video that accurately captures the art of women not saying what they really want to say:

[vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=82&v=IEwBARWPPcQ”]

 

What I am learning and what I want to encourage you to do is to get comfortable with first telling yourself how you truly feel. When you’re honest with yourself then you can be honest with others. Learn to effectively communicate how you feel. Stop pushing aside your emotions as unimportant or stupid. Stop pretending to be fine when you are not. The people who truly care about you, family and friends, don’t just want to hear about how “fine” you are all the time. It’s okay to say, “I’m not doing so well.” There is no growth in suppressing your feelings. Hiding your emotions might make it seem like you are happy, but true happiness comes from being true (“…the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32).

The next time you’re upset and are about to tell someone “I’m fine,” stop to think about it first. Don’t lie just because you think that’s what people want to hear. It’s okay to be a woman who feels things. It’s okay to be a woman who has a voice and isn’t afraid to use it. It’s okay to not be “fine”.

Until next time…

I feel like at this point sharing bad news has been the biggest part of my journey. We did our 4th embryo transfer on Monday, March 6. When I got confirmation a week later that I was not pregnant and our 4th attempt failed, I told God, “this is getting old” 😞 It feels like we’ve experienced so much disappointment, sadness, frustration and grief on this journey that it’s getting harder and harder to imagine what the other side will look like. 

When I started my fertility journey, I legit thought we would be successful on our first round. I thought this journey would go by pretty quickly and never thought we would experience loss. Four years of treatment later, and here we are - still in the wait, still hoping our day will come, still holding onto faith, still pushing through the pain of this journey. 

My pastor recently said that sometimes God gives us assignments we didn’t ask for, but if God brings us to it He will bring us through it. And I’m crazy enough to believe that despite everything we’ve been through, God still has something amazing for us up ahead. He’s already gone before us and prepared it for us, it’s just waiting for us 🤍

With each passing year and cycle, our journey feels more and more like a math equation - counting how many years we’ve been trying, how many transfers we’ve done, how many embryos we have remaining and how many little babes we’ve lost. Even though all of it is just too much, I see how God has kept us through all of it. Even though we haven’t gotten our victory yet, we are still victorious 🙌🏽

7 years trying to conceive 
4 years of treatment
4 surgeries 
2 miscarriages 
2 failed transfers 
5 babies lost 

And yet the #crazyfaith journey continues 🙏🏽

I’m a press-on nails girlie now and I love this for me 💅🏾

I have been eyeing this set by @kissproducts for a while and decided to give them a try. They are my favorite yet! I love how natural they look and how easy they were to apply. Some of the girlies on TikTok told me to dehydrate my nails with acetone nail polish remover before applying my nails, so that’s what you see me doing here. Apparently it helps the nails adhere to your natural nails even better! 

Let me know what you think of these and if you’re a press-on girlie, which nails should I try next! ⬇️

I feel like at this point sharing bad news has been the biggest part of my journey. We did our 4th embryo transfer on Monday, March 6. When I got confirmation a week later that I was not pregnant and our 4th attempt failed, I told God, “this is getting old” 😞 It feels like we’ve experienced so much disappointment, sadness, frustration and grief on this journey that it’s getting harder and harder to imagine what the other side will look like. 

When I started my fertility journey, I legit thought we would be successful on our first round. I thought this journey would go by pretty quickly and never thought we would experience loss. Four years of treatment later, and here we are - still in the wait, still hoping our day will come, still holding onto faith, still pushing through the pain of this journey.

And I’m crazy enough to believe that despite everything we’ve been through, God still has something amazing for us up ahead. He’s already gone before us and prepared it for us, it’s just waiting for us 🤍

With each passing year and cycle, our journey feels more and more like a math equation - counting how many years we’ve been trying, how many transfers we’ve done, how many embryos we have remaining and how many little babes we’ve lost. Even though all of it is just too much, I see how God has kept us through all of it. Even though we haven’t gotten our victory yet, we are still victorious 🙌🏽

7 years trying to conceive 
4 years of treatment
4 surgeries

2 failed transfers 
5 babies lost

I feel like at this point sharing bad news has been the biggest part of my journey. We did our 4th embryo transfer on Monday, March 6. When I got confirmation a week later that I was not pregnant and our 4th attempt failed, I told God, “this is getting old” 😞 It feels like we’ve experienced so much disappointment, sadness, frustration and grief on this journey that it’s getting harder and harder to imagine what the other side will look like. 

When I started my fertility journey, I legit thought we would be successful on our first round. I thought this journey would go by pretty quickly and never thought we would experience loss. Four years of treatment later, and here we are - still in the wait, still hoping our day will come, still holding onto faith, still pushing through the pain of this journey. 

My pastor recently said that sometimes God gives us assignments we didn’t ask for, but if God brings us to it He will bring us through it. And I’m crazy enough to believe that despite everything we’ve been through, God still has something amazing for us up ahead. He’s already gone before us and prepared it for us, it’s just waiting for us 🤍

I’m a press-on nails girlie now and I love this for me 💅🏾

I have been eyeing this set by @kissproducts for a while and decided to give them a try. They are my favorite yet! I love how natural they look and how easy they were to apply. Some of the girlies on TikTok told me to dehydrate my nails with acetone nail polish remover before applying my nails, so that’s what you see me doing here. Apparently it helps the nails adhere to your natural nails even better! 

Let me know what you think of these and if you’re a press-on girlie, which nails should I try next! ⬇️

I grew up on Detroit style pizza way before I even knew it was a thing! If you don’t know or haven’t had it, Detroit style pizza is top tier. It’s a deep dish crispy crusted goodness and in my top two favorite types of pizza.

I was craving one and decided to make it at home. This was my first attempt and although it’s not perfect yet, it still gave what it needed to give 🙌🏽

I used two 8” aluminum deep dish pans, these are a great alternative if you don’t have a deep dish pan. The ingredients include:

•Publix premade pizza dough
•All purpose flour 
•Olive oil
•Rao’s marinara sauce (@raoshomemade has THEEE best sauce)
•Mozzarella cheese
•Turkey pepperoni 
•Mike’s hot honey @mikeshothoney 

I baked the pizzas on 450 for about 25 minutes. 

I was so happy with the outcome and it satisfied my craving! I’ll share this recipe tutorial again the next time I make it! In the meantime, let me know in the comments your favorite pizza (style, type, toppings) ⬇️
