Resilience *the ability of people or things to recover quickly after something unpleasant, such as shock, injury, etc.* Some life events make us realize how strong we actually are. Even when we're going through the shittiest, most scary, hurtful, awful, horrible situations, it's crucial that we remember that we will get through this. Each and every one of us have our own personal luggage of sorrow and pain. It's inevitable. To know that we are not alone, and to share our experiences with people we trust can be such a grieving process. *Time heals all wounds.* So cliché yet so damn true. Life isn't easy nor fair. But we still stand up no matter what and that is the most important thing, if you ask me. If you were to ask me last year if I believed I was a resilient person, my answer would've probably been different then today. I'm really proud of the women I'm becoming.
