love your suffering

i know that sometimes wearing a smile just doesn't cut it anymore.

"keep your head up" "stay positive" "it'll get better soon"

shuddup!

i know that sometimes life is like pushing that boulder up a mountain only for it roll back down to the bottom as you watch exhausted through tearful eyes

your suffering is never for dismissal, it's valid, important & i carefully say, necessary

just like valleys give depth to the mountains, your challenges give meaning to your triumphs.

your suffering is a measurement of your strength, resilience & capacity to endure

it's not a sign of weakness but rather a testament to the weight you've carried & the journey you've faced.

each stumble;

every time you pick yourself back up,

is proof of your unwavering spirit

so trust that each hardship is carving out a new layer of wisdom & compassion in you.

you are not defined by your suffering but by the courage you summon to rise above it

learn to love your suffering as the greatest gift you could recieve & use that love to launch you into the greatest version of yourself.
