"We acquire the strength we have overcome."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
I don't regret any of the suffering I've endured because what I've been through has given me depth. Challenges, infringements, betrayals, heartaches- all of these have grown me, and continue to grow me.
And I would rather come through hardship and be the wiser and the stronger for it than to live a bland and shallow kind of existence. I like my depth, and I like it in others as well. Our wounds have made us beautiful, and our wounds have raised us to a higher plane.
I am grateful for all of the difficulty I have been through in my life. It has grown me roots and branches.
