We don't have to act strong all the time. In life, we all have our own barbells to carry. It may be spiritual barbells, emotional, or physical ones. Despite the barbells in our life, some choose to cry and mourn, while some choose to smile and act strong like an indestructible surface. All my life, the heaviest barbell I had to carry was expectations. They expected me...to never be weak, even if deep inside, we all are. And it's okay.
