Years ago when I told my therapist I had anxiety about making sure my future is secure and safe she said “no one has control over the future, but you can decide to work on releasing your anxiety about it so it doesn’t rob you of the present.” The trauma in my life has taught me the painful lesson that I don’t know what bombs will be dropped, but I can decide how I’ll react to them. I choose to react with dignity and kindness...even when others do not. I can choose love, humility and embrace each curveball as an opportunity to ascend and grow. It doesn’t make it easy. There have been times I’ve clawed my way through the days in tears wondering “I don’t know if I can do this?” And yet I always do. That has been a recurring theme in my story. It’s why I had “resilience” tattooed on my foot at 18 and why my rising sign is Scorpio. Nothing gets in my way. My intensity is unwavering. No matter what, no trial is too great.
