The most difficult lesson Iโve faced as an adult is the unending need to survive, regardless of how broken I feel inside.
It doesnโt matter if my heart is aching, if Iโm mourning the loss of someone I love, or if Iโm too tired to even get out of bed.
Life doesnโt wait for me to catch my breath.
It keeps moving forward, indifferent to my pain, and Iโm left with no choice but to push through, even when every part of me is screaming for a moment of rest.
But whatโs even harder is realizing that no one truly prepares you for this. We grow up believing in the comfort of happy endings, only to be met with the harsh reality that survival often means pretending youโre okay when youโre not.
And maybe thatโs the hardest partโnot just surviving, but doing so quietly, without letting the weight of it show. Yet, through it all, we find strength we never knew we had, because despite the heaviness, we keep moving.
