Long Post....Random Thoughts ❤️🩹
With all the bad that has happened in my life… I can honestly say I wouldn’t trade it. Not the experiences, not the people, not the situations… not even the pain.
Because even though some moments almost "destroyed" me… they also "revealed" me.
There were seasons where I cried myself to sleep, days where I smiled in public but was falling apart behind closed doors, and times where I felt like I was carrying more than any human being should have to carry. I’ve been hurt by people I loved, disappointed by those I trusted, and left to figure life out on my own when I needed support the most.
But somehow… I made it!
I didn’t always understand why I had to go through certain things. I questioned God, I questioned myself, and I questioned my purpose. I wondered why life kept hurting me when all I ever wanted was peace. And there were moments I truly felt like giving up.
But looking back now… I realize every struggle taught me something.
The pain taught me how to pray.
The betrayal taught me discernment.
The loneliness taught me how to stand on my own.
The heartbreak taught me how to love myself.
And the battles I survived taught me that I am stronger than I ever believed.
I’ve learned that not everyone is meant to stay. I’ve learned that some people are lessons, not lifetimes. I’ve learned that sometimes God allows certain things to happen not to break you… but to build you, strengthen you, and prepare you for what’s coming.
So no, I wouldn’t trade my story.
Because my story is proof that I survived what was meant to take me out.
My story is proof that I can fall and still get back up.
My story is proof that God had His hand on me even when I couldn’t see it.
I may not be where I want to be yet… but I’m not who I used to be.
And for that, I thank God.
Everything I went through made me who I am today… and I’m proud of the woman I’ve become...
