Isn't it weird how you can experience situations throughout your life that are so heartbreaking or stressful that you cant ever imagine being okay again? Then a few weeks, months, or even years later, you notice that the days go by without thinking about those times. You can laugh, you can smile, you can go about your day and realize that you re so much stronger and happier than you thought you could be ever again. Those bad times might always be in your mind, in your memory, or in your heart, but somehow you feel at peace with your past; and the memories that come back dont punch you in the heart like they used to. You realize that you are, in fact, as strong as everyone was saying you were at the time and that you would, in fact, get through what you went through. Isn't it amazing how much we can change, how much we can learn, and how much we can grow?
