While scrolling through the endless entertainment options on Netflix this past weekend, a movie title for a Korean romantic drama caught my eye; “It’s OK to not be OK”. I ended up scrolling past it, and still have not watched it, however I find myself thinking about the title days later.
Sisu is a Finnish word that originates from the word sisus, which means guts or intestines. Sisu means to have strength, specifically inner strength, and loosely translated it means to persevere. So, let’s go with sisus being guts…as in to have guts ? Sisu is about having the inner courage to continue and push through.
We all deal with things in our own way on our own timetable, and eventually, we all persevere (Sisu). 2020 has dealt us an odd hand, but we have held our own through all the ups, downs and curve balls we’ve had to adapt to over the past few months. Some days may be better than others but remember, it is OK to not be OK, and I truly believe that this too shall pass.
“It’s healthy to admit you’re not ok. It’s ok to not be ok, it’s brave. But don’t let it win. Be sad. Have your moment, your day or week. Then do something about it and be happy. For yourself.”– Jessie J
Have a great weekend.
