Have you ever asked yourself this question? I'm pretty sure you have and it's okay!
I myself have suffered from bad luck and I have watched my friends and family suffer from it as well. ''Why me, why again?'' You keep asking yourself questions you cannot find answers to.
In the past two years, I've been a witness of several unfortunate events. We lost three family members in less than two years, one of whom was my grandpa. It's actually the first time I'm sharing this publicly and as much as I hate doing it I have been feeling the urge to pour out my grief and shout out loud how I miss him. It doesn't stop here but I'm gonna save you the rest.
Whether we realize it or not, each of these unfortunate events impacts our whole being and the direction our life takes. The most cruel ones could leave us devastated for the rest of our lives but it's up to us to allow in pain.
It's true that some of us have been born blessed, while others are less fortune and that's the way it is. I'm certain, though, that none has either been sad or happy during their whole life. What aroused my interest is the perception that it's not the good moments that make us who we truly are. Wiser people than me have had a say in the topic:
What doesn't kill you make you stronger.
A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.
Whatever brings you down, will eventually make you stronger.
And the list goes on....
A human has an exceptional strength and the weight we can carry on our shoulders can hardy be weighted out. So, next time you think you're cursed, think about the last time you thought you cannot handle it anymore or that one thing that looked completely impossible to you to do.
I'm one of those people who tend to overthink, especially in moments of struggles. Yet, overthinking has never ever had produced any great solution for me, except for making my head ache. As hard as it is for me to stop thinking over something that doesn't depend on me, I promised myself I'll find a way to do it.
I've learnt we have to except things as they come and let people as they go.... I've learnt that I don't have a say on what life will serve me next. I've learnt I'm stronger than I think.
If any of you recognize themselves in or between the lines, I'd love to hear from you and your way of addressing bad luck! :)
