Unless if it's the "other thing".
I don’t think the thing had to happen for any reason. I don’t believe in destiny or meant to be stuff. I don’t believe tragedy is necessary for a better self when the damage is so profound, that even with growth, you can’t escape its claws. I am a much better, stronger, smarter, happier person now than I was years ago, but that’s not thanks to tragedies or the thing. That’s despite the thing. It’s because of resilience, motivation, the love for my two sons and love for myself, and because I refuse to be a sad lump on the floor just crying and feeling like shit. Someone once told me that god had a plan in everything and that maybe he used tragedy to make me a better person, so I could help others. To that I say, fuck you. I’m a better person for many reasons, but not thanks to horrible people doing horrible things. Sometimes I have days when the old me resurfaces and I doubt myself and my ability to make sound decisions, to cope, to fight, but new me is bigger and better and I get back up. You know what helps? Surrounding myself by admirable, positive, smart, decent humans and cats.
We're made from stardust, we share a lot with the environment that gave birth to us, point is you get shaped just like the ground around you. An artist burns material to shape sculptures; so we must burn too to get shaped. Life is full of scenarios that burn us into wonders; or destroy us for good, but the choice is always yours to write the conclusion of the scenario. Your children and the good people around you are only assets for you to excel in writing your story: and that's fate :
at least that's how I see it. Your children are also wonders that you burned for 9 months to give birth to -assuming that your pregnancy was something like this -_- :concluded it in: no pain; no gain.
