“Stars can’t shine without darkness nobody is immune to suffering”
my baggage is your wisdom
“No one is immune to suffering; stars cannot shine in the absence of darkness.”
I’m not sure where I first heard that, but it really resonated with me.
Without falling, suffering, rising up, moving forward, and sherbet falling again, nothing that I have accomplished and am so passionate about would have been validated.
“You only get given what you can handle,” says the saying.
Well, a higher force certainly believed in me at the time.
However, it changed me.
It gave me the willpower to do anything, but it also made me want to hide in my room when I have nothing better to do.
It caused me to simultaneously adore and fear people.
It simultaneously made me feel incredibly proud of my accomplishments and like an impostor.
It inspired me to devote my life to assisting others while also encouraging them to love and trust themselves.
It helped me become a recovered people-pleaser, but I still struggle with setting limits and not wanting to assist everyone.
It caused me to physically feel the suffering of others while ignoring my own still at times
I am afraid of rejection even though I loved to be needed.
I became braver than I could have ever imagined, but I could only realise it looking back.
It helped me become resourceful and tenacious, but it also occasionally filled me with unbearable anxiety.
It transformed me into someone who can love you even when you couldn’t love yourself and understand you.
Why?
Because everything I went through shaped me into the person I am today!
