We cannot let the bad things in the past ever stop us from looking forward to a better future.
I had this idea about how things were supposed to go in my life. Unfortunately for a good seven years or so, it just did not go that way. It went way worse.
But now that I am here, I can see that all that stuff I deemed terrible was life’s way of cutting out toxic people, habits, and perspectives that were seriously hurting me and holding me back from living a fuller, happier life.
I don’t think I would be anywhere even close to where I am today if I hadn’t cried those specific tears, felt those blows, and experienced those failures and sorrows.
But now I am here, not where I expected at all. But I’m pretty sure it is where I need to be.
