The greatest lessons are the hardest. Heart wringing, gut wrenching pain has a way of defining our character. Therefor giving us the opportunity to grow.
There have been a many of times throughout my life that I have felt so cold and hard that I wasn’t sure if I could ever smile again. Just looking at others laughing hurt my soul to the core. How can they laugh? Don’t they know that the world is falling apart?
It’s hard. When I feel down like this I have no desire to sleep, yet no desire to get out of bed. Hours pass as you lie there. Yet it feels like mere moments. Nevertheless, eventually you find yourself getting out of bed. Then slowly you start to crave food again. And after a while you find yourself laughing at the stupidest things, and you realize you are going to be ok.
Do not despair. You are not alone. Everyone has felt this pain. Things will be ok. All is well, and you are safe. There is a beautiful plan ahead for you, and this was a stepping stone to get there. You are strong, you are wonderful and you will be ok.
Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
