Beauty in Pain

I’ve come to realize the pain of you has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.

It has forced me into my becoming, my growth, and my strength.

To sit with a heavy spirit every day.
To sit in discomfort alone; stretched me in ways I needed to be stretched.

It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me because there has been so much beauty unveiled.

I found artistry in my truth, in my struggles, and grace in the uncovering of my authentic core.

I found meaning in the pain.

I found myself.
