We have to accept that life simply isn't consistent, smooth, and easy from beginning to end, and it's these rough patches that give us strength and make us resilient. I'm currently in one of these uncomfortable phases where everything feels uncertain like it's falling apart. With so many aspects of life just up in the air, it's definitely creating a space of insecurity and it's a bit rocky, to say the least.
It's really getting intense and appears things are coming to a head.
This morning I woke up to one of the most encouraging messages I've ever received and I wanted to share his message publicly as an accolade for taking the time and energy to choose this certain string of words that has lifted my spirit so high, like Wow!! Nothing is getting me down today!
"Just so you know, my opinion from an outside perspective, you are an absolutely amazing human being. You're kind, funny, always trying/willing to grow and enrich yourself, strong and proud of your views, always trying to stay upbeat, giving, and understanding...
"I know you're going through a tough time, and sometimes when that happens it's nice to be reminded of how other people view and feel about you. I've always tried to keep in touch with you because you exude all these qualities and have only become better and wiser. Seeing you grow as a person is rewarding in itself."
Thank you, J. You truly are a great friend.
