Tragedy=growth


Today is sadness

Seeming never ending waves of revelation of pity

But tomorrow

Oh how tomorrow allows development to sprout from the seeds of terrible things

We get so caught up in disallowing others pain because we feel ours is worse

But the real competition is how far we grew from our pain

I have experienced pain

Too terrible to share

But I have developed into the strong, powerful women I am because of this

And if given the chance to relive my life

I would experience the pain all over again
