One of our biggest struggles is accepting our story. Owing up to the different narrative that seems to define our very essence.
We try so hard to escape from these stories because we feel that is not what the world wants to hear.
No! The world can't see our imperfections we say. The world must not hear that there are times we cry in our closets. We want to do away with these narratives forever.
In the midst of all these, we forget that until we connect the dots through our stories, we can never trace the patterns that defines our future.
Your story is your story my friend. It's your tears, your laughter, your failure and your victory.
Your story is your experience. And the world doesn't have to accept it for you.
But when you accept your story, you begin to empower yourself to take part in shaping the story of your life, the way you want it.
...Because you can only shape what you've acknowledged it existence.
No matter how messy it is, this is the story that got you here. Cherish your story.
Have a great week ahead
I love you all
