💡Lessons from growth

To you...A fighter who is reading this.

At an age when we are making the leap from dream to truth, we are always expected to be strong all the time, but remember:

• Crying is not weakness: but it is "draining" so that our hearts are no more broken. Your inability to accept yourself is the beginning of your understanding.

• Pain is a mean teacher: but it teaches a subject called "Resilience," or Resilience, and recovers best. You in the version that passed tonight will certainly be stronger than you yesterday.

• You Don't Fight Alone: The feeling of shaking, palpitating, and clawing hands is something many people at this age face, but don't forget to give yourself a chance to rest and be kind to yourself as you are to others.
