A lot of people will disagree with me on this topic, but I believe that in life there are trials and hardships to try and test us to see who we really are and help us grow. That does not mean we have to dwell on them. Yes, take the time you need to mourn a loss or take a few days to bounce back from a personal hardship. Then you move on with your life, never forgetting what you have been though, but never letting it define you. I do not define myself as just barren. That is a factor in my life that haunts me and might for the rest of my life. I am also funny, smart, and freaking awesome. I feel the pain of my empty arms from time to time and I let myself feel it, but I do not wallow in it. I live everyday with the thought process of: "I believe in miracles." I have hope, and laughter, and most of all love. What I am trying to say is that we are all like a good novel; we have so many chapters, and like every book we have a rise, a climax, and a fall. It's how we deal with those things that defines us. Who you are is not what you have been through; who you are is how you choose to be. There are so many situations we cannot control, but the ones we can, let's control them. I can't control it that kids may never be in my future, but I can control the love and joy I find in the little things each day. Yes I have to search for them, it's hard work, but nothing that is easy is usually worth it.
I really hope I didn't offend anyone. This was just on my mind a little today and so I figured it would be today's topic. I hope everyone is doing well.
