There was a day I woke up and realized my life no longer felt familiar. Everything I thought I knew—about myself, my purpose, and the Divine—had been shattered. Life had hammered me with experiences that left me fearful, jaded, and disconnected.
In my fear, I tried to create a reality I could control. But no amount of hiding or running kept me from facing the truth: I had to confront my pain and rebuild myself from the ground up.
What I learned is this: the challenges that break us are also the ones that shape us. Every experience, no matter how painful, has a purpose. They are the chisels that carve us into our truest, strongest selves.
The moment I stopped being afraid was when I realized the darkness wasn’t an ending. It was a beginning—a clean slate. I understood that the void wasn’t something to fear but a space to create something new.
Life’s hardships aren’t here to defeat us. They’re here to reveal the resilience, wisdom, and strength within us. If you’re in a season of darkness, remember this: the void is where your next chapter begins. Trust yourself, trust the process, and know that you are becoming.
