There are moments when life feels like a relentless storm—days when the clouds seem permanently gathered, and every step forward feels more excruciating than the last. It’s during these moments that our hearts often whisper, “You’ve been dealt a difficult hand"
It’s important to acknowledge that pain, in all its forms, is a natural part of our human experience. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a setback at work, or a traumatic experience that leaves you questioning your worth. You don’t have to smile through it all—sometimes, allowing yourself the space to grieve is the bravest act of self-compassion.
There’s an odd irony in life: when everything seems to be falling apart, it can also be a time when we learn just how breakable we truly are. Like a battered old book that still holds stories of joy, pain, and unexpected humor in its margins, our lives are enriched by the chapters that are hardest to write.
In the midst of life’s suffering, finding even a small beam of light can feel miraculous.
It’s normal to be sad, frustrated, or even angry. Emotions are like the changing colors of the sky after a storm—each one has its place and its time.
Sometimes life’s determination to destroy it's creations, the way our plans can fall apart or how our pain seems to leave us feeling we've been "ripped off", or dealt an injustice, can offer a brief respite from the weight of it all.
Our scars are marks of defeat; they are the story of survival, etched in our skin and soul. They remind us that life pushes us to our limits.
So, on those days when the world feels overwhelmingly painful and unjust, remind yourself that this too will pass, even in our death. Life will destroy itself, eventually.
