Why Alchemize?
The reason behind it all.
Have you ever felt disconnected from others or that you were alone in your suffering?
The truth is that you’re not. But it might not always be easy to recognize it because we’re so eager to believe that the photoshopped images we see on social media are actually a person’s real life.
What we don’t see is the truth of their daily lives. Granted, some of them may be as happy as they look in their photos, but there’s one thing you can be certain of: they’ve endured life in some form or another.
Life happens. We all experience setbacks and pain, but what we do with those experiences defines who we are. Are we able to rise above the suffering and find the lesson and the light in the darkness? Can we transmute pain into beauty?
Our reason is hope.
Alchemize was started as a way to spread hope. The darkest times of life are usually caused by a lack of hope and a feeling of disconnection, whether that be to a higher power or other people.
When you combine real stories of real people, sharing their struggles and experiences and finding the light after it all, it provides hope for someone currently stuck in the darkness. By transmuting an experience of hurt into one of empowerment, you are creating beauty in the world and your life, and giving someone else a sense of encouragement.
Together, we can alchemize our experiences and share them so that it gives meaning to our suffering and hope to another.
If this seems like something that interests you, dive into our stories and feel connected through other’s vulnerability, or submit your own story of hope to be published on Alchemize.
