Pain changes you.
Not in the way people think, not by breaking you, but by deepening you.
If you hadn’t gone through what you went through, you wouldn’t feel as deeply.
You wouldn’t understand struggle the way you do.
You wouldn’t have the empathy, the humility, or the compassion you carry now.
Yes, suffering hurts.
But it also shapes the parts of you that are wise, gentle, and real.
Most people move through life untouched, never questioning, never growing.
Not you.
You were cracked open and that crack is where your strength and humanity entered.
You didn’t come out of your pain empty.
You came out with depth.
And that is something only survivors have.
What is one thing your struggle has taught you about life or about yourself?
Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
