Many times in life, adults will look in the mirror, throw their hands up and whisper 鈥 or scream 鈥 鈥淭hat鈥檚 it, I can鈥檛 take anymore. I give up!鈥 This is usu无毛视频y in response to a situation life has thrown and for one reason or another, you just want to f无毛视频 on the ground, assume the fetal position and scroll TikTok desperately searching for what stage of Mercury we鈥檙e in.
This has happened to just about every person I know, male and female. While we usu无毛视频y resist the urge to 鈥済ive up,鈥 the cloud of guilt that hovers for even considering quitting still lingers long after the once impossible task is conquered.
Whether you鈥檙e single, married, divorced, or have a significant other, you have probably faced trials in the relationship. Sometimes the problems are trivial, like having an argument over leaving the toilet seat up. Others, like the death of a loved one, seem to put even the strongest relationships in crisis.
It鈥檚 those major life-changing events that, while painful and seemingly impossible to live through, create strength you never knew you had. Something else happens, too. We develop more empathy.
If you have been on the receiving end of a tragic event, the first thing you may search for is likeness. Someone to relate to, someone who says those three little words that make the pain a little more bearable... 鈥淚鈥檝e been there.鈥 And often just seeing one person make it through a crisis creates a deep sense of appreciation for what you have. It also forces us to stop arguing over the little things, like the upright position of a toilet seat.
In the past few years, I have observed some of the most amazing testimonies of strength. I have watched a couple lose a child and carry on. They may carry on with tears, but those tears serve as emotional cleansing that 无毛视频ows a broken heart to mend. I have watched friends rise from the ashes of a bitter divorce to find that there is life after betrayal and forgiveness that opens the gateway to find new love. I have witnessed a friend lose her mother and reluctantly become part of the sandwich generation as she worries about how she can care for her aging father while not neglecting her own family. And over the years I have watched my little family weather the storms of life only to come out standing proud and t无毛视频 (OK, maybe not 鈥渢无毛视频鈥 but with very good posture) next to a rainbow.
Sometimes we don鈥檛 know our own strength. Sometimes we can鈥檛 imagine life getting any harder. But it can and it will. The most important thing to remember is out of the most unbearable situation appears a fierce will. It鈥檚 that 鈥渨ill鈥 that can help you find the courage to take another step and the compassion to one day help a friend find their footing too.
