Everyone has a story to tell ~Author

A story about some of the issues in life that provide you with strength you never knew existed.

The story was written by a human, not Artificial Intelligence.

You did not see the breakup coming, your child getting sick, or your spouse dying.

No words can describe the heart for a hurt that seems like it will never go away.

Financial issues and unexpected economic concerns come to us all.

When mental and emotional health begins to disrupt your life, who can you tell?

One issue after another can plague your days, and you begin to wonder if you will exhale again.

You are too stubborn to cry and too proud to ask for help, so you sit in what is happening in your life.

You sense something emerging greater than you it can’t labeled or expressed to anyone.

The next wave of issues begins to hit your house. This time sleep does not elude you the next morning you wake up refreshed.

The financial crisis that you thought erupted is now recognized as a setback for a comeback.

You embrace what is happening with a strength that has now emerged.

You still feel the thing of all of it. Tears do not come as easily.

You shake the dust from difficult conversations a lot quicker.

You recognize yourself when you look in the mirror.

You are now stronger but more resilient than you could have imagined.

Pain brought out purpose. Tears are no longer torturing you and sleep is your friend, not a foe.

Thank you for reading.

Be Well!
