Fact: life is hard and our experiences differ. The truth is when [life happens], the impact is the same; because we are all human beings, we feel the same emotions. However you unpack those emotions; sad, angry, disappointed, frustrated, riled…reality is that non of these emotions are easy to deal with. 

Wired deep within our molecules of existence is the conviction that we can deal with anything, and the power to face any situation. We were built and clothed with the belief that we are strong beings and as such no matter how hard we fall, we can pick ourselves up, we can learn and grow. We become wiser and our confidence levels amplified, ultimately we become even stronger and stable beings. We all know this, right?

Now, the part that no one warns you about is that the professor of life lessons sometimes just enjoys messing up with you. He strikes when your tentacles are still in sleep mode, and only awaken when you are way deep, face flat on the ground.
But then again, going back to who we are; it all depends on what you do with the situation, that experience, or the feeling. However you go about dealing with it, do not lose who you are.
I must confess, there’s a time when I’d almost lost my cloth of convictions. I almost forgot how important it is to remain sane even in the worst type of battles. I was determined to get
what was rightfully mine that I almost let go of my values. But my guardians reminded me to not lose myself in the process. It is true that situations differ, and sometimes the outcome may not always be favourable, but some wars are just not ours to fight.

So, keep your emotions balanced and maintain your self-worth. Do not exhaust your heart, because that will only drain your spirit, and crush your soul. Before you know it you’ll be wearing frustration on your forehead as if it’s in fashion. You’ll only be hollow, grumpy and vindictive.
Keep in check.
