It's okay
to be not okay.
It's okay
to reach out
even if you are talented
or successful or admired
or fabulously wealthy
or all of the above
and "should" be able to handle
a little stress
a little burnout
a little sadness
a little fear
or even
a whole lot of nothing
empty space
and empty time
because really
life is great
and what would life be
without a little struggle?
Really
it's okay.
