Life truly started for me at the point where I went into a deep learning about what mattered to me and what didn’t.
I learnt so much in terms of friends and family. Learnt who deserved an explanation and those who deserved nothing off me.
I discovered those who stood by me at times when things were hard. This learning was crucial as my faith in humanity had depleted to the brim.
I learnt that having good intentions can work miracles. That patience and hardwork can move mountains. Ego depletes and humility replenishes.
I learnt how to take rejection with grace and patiently wait for better things to arrive.
I realized that the size of your circle doesn’t matter, but the quality of it does. I met new people who unveiled a fresh perspective on humanity and faith for me.
I learnt that possibility and impossibility is a matter of the mind. When the necessity occurs, so will the capability.
I realized how deep my own perseverance was and that healing is only possible as long as you have God in the equation.
My biggest learning was that I’m nothing without my Maker, it is He who will replenish, safeguard, provide and protect. Likewise, feeling the suffering of others and sharing my blessings with them will never deplete my own.
More than anything, I have learnt and accepted that I am enough and I’m okay with those who think I’m not!
