Be Sad; Keep Going

Be Sad; Keep Going Helping you persevere through grief, loss, depression & more because you get to be sad but you HAVE to keep going

“Be Sad; Keep Going” is a powerful message that encourages us to embrace our emotions, even the difficult ones, and acknowledge that they are a natural part of the human experience. While it’s important to allow ourselves the space to feel sadness, it’s equally important to remember that tough times won’t last forever. By moving forward when we’re ready, we can find the strength to overcome challenges and grow stronger in the process.

So many times people say “let me know if you need anything” once you’re grieving and often times that places a heavy burden on the person going through it. If you needed an idea of something you can ask for, inform your loved ones of “red flags” you may have when things are getting really dark for you and ask them to keep an eye on you for those things. This will require more energy than you might have but it may help that if something is off with you, somebody knows what that looks like and can assist accordingly and even get you connected to the necessary mental health resources.

this because it still feels relevant.

If I’m being honest, I’m not even sure I’m healing from losing my mom. Some days I feel sure, some days I feel confused. Everyday I choose to Mental Health and Wellness Enthusiast

I still have so much gratitude in my heart from the inaugural BLK Girl Fest!

Thank you to T'Keyah Bennett for thinking of me to lead an activation for the attendees at the festival. I broke down the Tamia Line Dance into a few easy to remember notes, encouraged folks to keep their focus on their hearts and not their heads and made learning this dance MUCH more simple and approachable than it seems.

More importantly than learning the steps, I love teaching because I get to remind people of so many other important life lessons. 1. It’s okay to mess up. Just jump back in as soon as you can and look to your neighbor if you need help. 2. Talk out loud what you need to be doing. If you’re focused more so on what you should be doing, the critical voice in your head doesn’t have much room to tell you what you’re doing wrong. 3. Trust yourself! Your body has learned the moves and seen them on repeat, it’s on you to connect mind and body and go with what you already intuitively know.

I had such a good time teaching and hope attendees enjoyed my session and the rest of the festival as much as I did.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store next year ✨

Just one more day! Sometimes that’s all you can focus on is the day you’re in.

Preparing for my documentary expose on why little miss “feel your feelings” doesn’t believe in going to funerals 🫣 maybe I should just release the documentary myself at this point cause I just know I can’t be the only one that thinks like this! It might be my most controversial take yet 🤔😣😩 Should I do part 2? 👀

There’s a lot of absolute doom and gloom around losing your mom (or someone you love) so I’m here to remind you it can get better and you can live a full life again despite losing someone you love. Things will feel okay again soon enough once you decide.

Does this make sense? This randomly dropped into my heart today so I just let it come out however it was supposed to.

I hope yall are getting through your grief as best as you can 💙 continue to find ways to despite it all.

This might ruffle some feathers 😬 but If you were considering offering this phrase to comfort somebody through loss, DO NOT!

Maybe just maybe this works for some people, but honestly the better thing you can do (in my opinion) is to just be silent and present. Stop trying to rush people past how much the feelings of loss SUCK and console them with what you think they want to hear.

Sometimes, I think terrible things just happen 🤷🏾‍♀️ and there’s no rhyme or reason for it.

Let me know does this phrase bring you comfort or annoy you?

Your community exists to help you through tough moments, why not use them?

We tell ourselves soooo many stories about why we don’t want to ask for help (myself included) but I can guarantee you somebody in your community would prefer you interrupted their sleep because you needed support instead of them finding out that the worst has happened the next morning.

I think it’s so important to build up that village because sometimes you’ll have to reach out to a few people to get that support.

Additionally, you can always text or call 988 if you just need somebody to talk to. I’ve used it many times myself so there’s no shame in that.

Who else needed this reminder?

Shout out to The DJ for having me on Share The Vibes podcast to talk about this and so much more. Check out the episode wherever you get your podcasts.

I think it’s so important to have something (or some things) that you know will pull you out of a funk. One of the greatest tools I have in my toolkit is movement. I’m grateful I have that and so many other tools in my toolkit that help recenter me when I’m feeling down, when grief is trying to take over or depression has a strong grip on me.

Do you have something or somethings in your toolkit to help you regulate your emotions and improve your mood?
