Learning to love adversity

''If you want to know what it's like to survive hell and still come out shining brighter than the sun, just look into the eyes of a woman who has survived intense damage and refused to allow it to destroy her softness. ''

I tried giving up on life too many times.
And here I am today running around with my flashlight and trying to hold onto each spark of hope I can find.

Because there is always hope.
That's one thing life taught me from going through the hardest trials.
I always knew, deep down, even in the darkest of days, that one day, I could potentially touch someone else's life and help them see the light.
That's what kept me going.

Being alive is the most precious and beautiful gift that has been given to us.
And too often, I forget that.
I have been sad and unhappy for too long.
I am ready to become my best self and to turn things around.
I am ready to live fully and to grab onto joy, even in complete chaos.
I am ready to change my perspective and to learn to love adversity, because life does not give you the choice.
I am ready to run as fast as I can in the direction of kindness.
I am a firm believer that kindness is the only way to make a permanent and effective change in the world.
It's the most beautiful legacy to leave behind.
Helping one another and loving one another is essential, as tomorrow is never guaranteed.
In the end, we are all doing our best to survive and try to get as much happiness as we can.

The journey starts today.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
