It doesn’t get easier...you just get better at dealing with it... This was a clip from a podcast of mine a few months ago & the response that it had gotten on my stories I felt the need to post it here & talk to you guys about it..In this conversation I was having a discussion about feeling abandoned by God & My father throughout my journey because at so many points in my life I was overcome with the emotional trauma and pain that surrounded my fathers suicide that just never seemed to “make sense” to me, why would a father take his life and leave behind a family & in this case specifically me a 6 year old son. Over the course of my life I’ve realized that all of the trauma that you go through in life will almost NEVER make sense when it happens to you..but in time it will teach you things about yourself and about life in general that will open up a much wider view of life to and FOR you. For example if I had never experienced the hardships in my childhood and in my life I wouldn’t be the man I am today, I wouldn’t have been able to make the content & tell the story that I’ve been able to over the years and talk from a genuine & vulnerable place in my heart about the things I’ve gone through that have allowed me to connect with what feels like so many of you.. it took me about 20 years for this to START to make sense to me. Why is this important? It is important because whatever it is that you find yourself walking through in this life that feels like it might be the HARDEST thing that you’ve ever had to deal with. You can overcome it, not only can u overcome it..but you can THRIVE through it. The key here is realizing that it’s not always on your time, meaning you tend to see the reasons much later than the trauma. Learn to become comfortable with being in that uncomfortable space so that you can truly LEARN from it. @getrawtalk (my podcast)
