I am strong because I have been weak, I am on guard because I have been betrayed, I laugh because I have been sad and alive to the day because there is nothing certain about tomorrow.
I touched the bottom and I touched the hardness of the ground that I used to step on, life has bitten me hard, I have been, am and will be a vulnerable person, I have had my feet covered with sores, I have felt my heart break because of injustice and betrayal, I have avoided fewer blows than I have received.
I know fear and despair so closely that I have had no other remedy but to face them. I have prevented suffering from taking my life before its time, and I am still struggling not to succumb under the weight of the emotional imbalance I have been subjected to.
But from all this I got up and I have risen, so now you are facing a strong person, who has had and will still have moments of weakness. I do not flee from them and I am willing to accept what the future has in store for me, without reservations.
I realized that the moments when we really learn something are the ones when life gets complicated. We can't go to the first page of our book and rewrite it again, so the important thing is to find a way to be reborn and keep writing our history.
The tears that cleanse the soul
Let me be weak and cry today, tomorrow I'll be strong again.
Sometimes we need to cry and we don't know why. We usually repress ourselves out of fear of the judgment of others or simply because we believe that doing so makes us weaker. When we cry, however, we are able to express what the heart cannot bear.
Sometimes people cry, not because they are weak, but because they have been strong for too long, and that is exhausting.. Although crying can sometimes calm down, it always depends on the situation we are in and on our state of mind.
In general, in situations where we feel the need to cry it is good to do so, because in some way all this will help us to release the tension accumulated for all the problems that life has put us in front of.
Learning from adversity
I began to feel a great desire to live again when I discovered that the meaning of my life was what I wanted to attribute to it. - Paulo Coelho
Life is like a path full of flowers, but also of stones. Good and bad moments await us, because we make them what we want. It is about being strong and accepting learning, overlapping with storms and freeing ourselves from resentment and pain - this is resilience.
When they hit us, something pushes our inner selves to develop. It is a process that people who have suffered know well, because it is precisely after a fall that we are able to see our limits and our abilities in the clearest way.
This is the difference between school and life. At school you first learn a lesson, and then take an exam. In life, however, we are tested first and then we learn the lesson.
The bad moments come by themselves, the good ones have to go out and look for them
No one can go back and start over, but anyone can write a different ending.
Everything in life is temporary, so if things are going well for you, enjoy them, because they won't last forever. And if they are going badly, don't worry, because even then they will end. Problems and suffering are our daily bread for this we must be open to learning the lesson of pain, because it is something we cannot avoid as much as we wish.
It is usually said that once the lesson is learned the pain will disappear, although scars will remain in our body and soul. This does not mean that those who have suffered in life have overcome fear or pain, but that they have learned that it is not possible to cure what we deny ourselves to face.
