[00:17.89]Hey there.
This is Lynda with Rooted&Real.
[00:23.57]Today, we’re going to touch on a topic
that I think most of us are going through.
[00:29.85]It is for the one who
is ‘Quietly Struggling’.
[00:35.29]You’re struggling with something.
[00:37.05]Is it an addiction?
[00:38.73]Is it a financial problem?
[00:42.69]No income?
[00:44.65]Is it rebellion from your kids?
[00:48.41]Is it abuse?
[00:50.25]Whatever it is, I want to talk to you.
[00:54.65]I know you’re the strong one,
the one everyone comes to.
[01:01.13]But question is,
who do you go to when you’re tired?
[01:07.37]You’re good at pretending, huh?
[01:09.89]“I’m fine.” You say it so well.
[01:13.61]Even you almost believe it.
[01:16.13]But inside, you’re so exhausted.
[01:21.41]You lie awake at 2:00 AM.
[01:23.89]Your chest feels heavy.
[01:26.61]You cry, but you don’t know why.
[01:30.49]You see, huh?
[01:31.65]Being the strong one doesn’t mean
you learn to struggle quietly.
[01:36.73]You’re not weak for struggling quietly.
[01:39.81]You were just never given
permission to struggle loudly.
[01:44.17]So today, here’s the permission.
[01:48.25]You don’t have to be strong today.
