Recently, I’ve spent some time remembering the difficult times in life that make you strong, gave you patience and built your faith. It’s common for us to face loss, trauma, betrayal or a big challenge at some point in our lives. I’m struggling myself right now, so I’ve been trying to find real experiences from people who have gotten through tough times.
How did you make it through the fire? Does your answer lie in your faith, therapy sessions, the community you rely on, writing, music or something else? Did that experience teach you something new about yourself that then changed how you approach life?
What I’m really hoping for are stories that are genuine and open, not just encouraging lines. What kept you going when you wanted to stop? What guidance would you give someone experiencing this as well?
I’m here if you feel like sharing your experience, whether you overcome your struggles or still stand tall. Sometimes, realizing we share something with someone else comforts us a lot.
I thank you already for your wisdom and valor.
