Benefits of Suffering

It seems like stressful times are useful in that they help you to let go of things or people in your life that you’re not fully invested in. You find out quickly what’s important to you when you have to focus on one or two things exclusively.

They also teach you valuable lessons, although they don’t tend to be tied up nicely and presented to you, it’s more like a sucker punch that you have to regain your balance from.

Every time when I’m in it I feel like it’s the worst thing but then I’m grateful for it once I’ve learned from it.
