IT's ok

Five letters, three syllables, two very small words and one very large impact. The greatest lesson I ever learned was to know…it’s ok.
I’m confused – it’s ok
My heart hurts – it’s ok
They don’t like me – it’s ok
I don’t like them – it’s ok
I didn’t get the job – it’s ok
My life is so screwed up – it’s ok
I can’t fit my clothes – it’s ok
Why can’t I look like her – it’s ok
Why doesn’t he look at me – it’s ok
I think something’s wrong with me – it’s ok
I’ll never kiss him again – it’s ok
I miss her so much – it’s ok
What will happen next? It’s ok
I’ll never be good enough – It’s ok
God, can you hear me? It’s ok
God, do you love me? It’s ok
This pain hurts so much – It’s ok
I just want to be better – It’s ok

Without negative narrative in my head I would not know that:
It’s ok, I won’t have all the answers
It’s ok, my heart will mend
It’s ok, I’m not meant for everyone
It’s ok, everyone’s not meant for me
It’s ok. There’s a better opportunity with my name on it
It’s ok, nobody’s life is perfect
It’s ok, I am wonderfully and awesomely made
It’s ok, God made me in His likeness
It’s ok, he doesn’t deserve me
It’s ok, I know to ask for help
It’s ok, memories like this are precious
It’s ok, I was blessed to have known her
It’s ok, enjoy the moment
It’s ok, what’s for me is for me
It’s ok, God knows my heart
It’s ok, I am not alone
It’s ok, at least I’m alive
It’s ok, I AM Beautiful
