- The pain will make you stronger.

Life seemed to be unfair sometimes. I felt like I was stuck in my own, wishing things were different. 

I had a way of forcing some things to happen, even when they weren't meant to be. I had to make a lot of wrong choices to learn from my mistakes. I had to be stabbed in the back by the same people I'd take a bullet for. These turns of events made me realize how life could be brutal. 

But somehow, I also came to realize how crucial it was to get hurt, because the pain did make me stronger. It felt like an endless cycle of suffering where nothing made sense, until it all clicked together. 

These things were meant to happen for me to grow into the person I am today.

All these painful years made me stronger and wiser, and for that I was grateful. I came to love the new version of me that I became. I replaced regret and anger with gratefulness. And that turned out to be the only shift I ever needed. 

I was living the same life, but I wasn't the same anymore.
