we often misinterpret pain.

It's a blessing in disguise.

So sometimes back I sat down to reflect back on the past months I had in my life a bit unsettling and uncomfortable . I had to go through the cycles of intrapersonal changes and had to leave a lot behind that I carried since sometime and every time I was in pain I would look-up at the sky and whisper -why God why me? I haven't done anything wrong to anyone my whole life so why you chose me? but somehow I would make it to another day. Days went by and I analysed some things very strongly.

A bit story time- My niece is a toddler and was still breastfed by her mother, eventually she started becoming leaner as the nutrition wasn't enough to fulfil her daily calorie requirement , So my mother decided its time for her switch to food and for that she needed to leave this habit of breastfeeding. Now this was difficult task cause she had been on this milk since she had open her eyes but it was necessary . I would call it a night of nightmares for my little niece as she was about to face it all at such a young age that night no matter how much she cried my sister didn't gave her the milk. I still remember her cries and screams. My sister cried too but she just couldn't . That night was painful for everyone , but the day comes out after all . she has been brighter than before and doesn't even remember about the past pain. It all has become history to her and to us a memory that will forever embedded in our hearts.

What conclusion I derived that day although this may seem very out of context but at times the things that are taken away from us is for good. At that time we cry we scream and agony grope our throats but at the end of the day its a blessing in disguise. So when I now look back at those months they really seem as if the cyclical rabbit hole rather a black hole but now it was so needed.anyone reading this I want to tell you that at time the universe snatches the thing that you cling on too tight cause it knows in the long term it won't fulfil everything you want. I hope you the patience of going and growing through this time so some day you can also raconteur a tale of bravery.

So, today I wish you a lot of happiness and some pain cause its needed trust me.
