Another season, another set of storms. But I remember: I don’t need to be stronger than yesterday. I am strong now.

I have learned to accept things as they are. I can pass through this too.

Happiness is not about what I have lost or gained—it is about being grateful, even in small ways. Pain may visit, but it does not define me. And pain doesn’t measure itself by the comparison; it meets us where we are. My pain now needs compassion as much as the past pain I’ve been through. They carry different lessons. I embrace them all

I survived the dark of 2016. I am still here. I am still walking. And that is enough.

All will be well. All is well. Amen.
