​All I can say is, thank God I don't look like what I've been through. Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and the journey can often leave us feeling worn out. However, there is a certain resilience that can emerge from these experiences, and I find solace in the fact that my exterior does not fully reflect the internal battles I have faced. It is a testament to the strength that I have cultivated over time, even when the circumstances seemed overwhelming. Strategizing for your own happiness is a challenge, but I'm definitely improving. 

"YOU CANNOT CONTROL EVERYTHING!'

This profound insight has been a turning point in my life. For so long, I believed that I could orchestrate every detail of my existence, striving to maintain a sense of order amidst chaos. However, the acceptance of my limitations has been liberating. I have discovered that by relinquishing the need for control, I open myself up to new possibilities and experiences that I might have otherwise overlooked. This shift in perspective has allowed me to approach challenges with a sense of curiosity rather than fear, transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth. Accepting this has been a huge relief. The weight of trying to manage every aspect of my life has lifted, creating space for a more authentic version of myself to emerge.
