My life up till now has been nothing short of confusion and surprises. I used to absolutely hate hearing “God only gives you what you can handle.” I often thought of rape, murder, the loss of children, poverty. Who could handle that?
December last year I saw my family for the first time in three years or so. In a far too lengthy conversation with my aunt, she explained that sometimes we go through things not for the sake of our own development, but to be an example for others. Maybe we suffered a broken home so one day a little girl somewhere, suffering the same, can have someone in her life who can see what others don’t. Who can empathise. Who can help.
As I prepare for the beginning of Aries season, I feel my thoughts being less clouded. I feel the joy I lacked within myself. I feel excitement to become myself once more as life and my faulty brain rob me of that sometimes.
