Word of the Week #327:
Though I may be indestructible—and I continue to maintain that I am—I am aware that I’m not invulnerable.
I am not impervious to pain and hurt… and, boy, have I received some strong reminders of the same over the past week.
Life, for all of us, is filled with varying degrees and manners of pain. Mine is clearly not devoid of it, and I am clearly not immune to it. So how do I handle it?
Above anything else, I know that any pain I experience is transient. It won’t stay within me in the long run. It may exist within me today, but soon enough, it will pass through me and vanish into the aether. And I will be left behind, strong as ever. Perhaps stronger, even.
Just knowing that any amount of pain I am forced to experience will not break or warp me is what allows me to face everything I encounter in my life.
No matter what happens, I will always keep moving forward.
