“A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without adversity.” – Donina Va’a Renata
Here’s the thing about motherhood. It exhausts you and thrills you. It kicks you in the butt, and the very next second makes you feel like a superstar. Most of all, it teaches you to be selfless.
Nothing is as important as the well-being of your beautiful child. You would sacrifice anything for her. Even your own life. You would do it in a heartbeat. God wouldn’t need to ask twice.
I may not have known what my future held, or how in the world I was going to navigate through it, but I did know one thing: I needed to return to the place where I had once been happy,
where I had been a hopeful, optimistic person before the ground gave way under my feet.
Life is hard. It’s cruel sometimes. It’s merciless and unfair, but we all go through difficult times, one way or another.
You keep fighting, every day, and sooner or later, the grief fades a little. You grow stronger, find joy again, and everything gets easier. You come out of it more equipped to handle the next wave, which will come eventually. There will always be waves.”
But that’s life, isn’t it? For all we know, each day could be our last. What matters most is the appreciation and gratefulness we should feel for each precious day we have with one another.
Love is our greatest achievement. Don’t ever forget that. Don’t squander it. Seek it. Experience it. Savor it every day that you can, because you never know when a rogue wave might sweep you away.
Time does heal wounds. Eventually. The scars might remain, but life goes on.
Don’t lose faith in the good things, even when life is tough. The good things come in waves, along with the bad.”
the passing of time meant very little in relation to the soul.
