This beautiful quote was something I saw around the time of World Mental Health Day. It was posted by a fellow blogger and I immediately screen-grabbed it. The words stuck with me because high's and low's are something I struggle with a lot. Not just your average PMS mood swings, but sudden spouts of depression brought on by a variety of things. My self confidence, my lack of sleep, my social anxiety, relationships, friendships and so on.
This quote really stuck with me because within it, there is a lesson that I have been discovering as I grow - even through the lowest moments, when I am feeling super sh*tty and sorry for myself, there is a teeny, tiny ray of light (whether I want to admit it in that moment or not) in the super far distance that knows this feeling is just a passing storm that I need to wait out.
It's because of my highs, my happiness and my success, that I know the "storm" is only temporary and there is so much more to come. I know this, because it is a pattern that just repeats itself #Life (woaahh!)
It is with this understanding that I find peace and a little comfort in this quote and I allow myself to settle and almost enjoy my lows as much as my highs. I encourage myself to learn from all my experiences and most importantly, remain grounded.
All flowers need a little rain to grow :)
Seeing this quote being shared around the online community reassures me that I am not alone in feeling this way. And that it is ok to not to be ok all the time, with no apologies!
I wonder if any of you lovely readers can relate to this quote at all?
