Where Pain Meets Purpose
Life is not always soft. It’s not always filled with the sunshine we dream of when we’re little. For some of us, life starts with pain. I was that child—avoided, ignored, left alone to grow up without the comfort of love or support. I had to take care of myself before I even understood what childhood was supposed to feel like. I became my own parent, my own friend, my own protector.
As I grew older, the struggles didn’t stop—they changed shape. I became a wife, only to face abuse. I found myself bandaging my own wounds—silent wounds that no one could see but were louder than any scream. I kept surviving, even when my voice was lost in the noise of others. Even as a friend, I was abandoned, left to stand alone for what I believed was right.
But through all this darkness, I discovered something shocking—there is beauty in the struggle. Not because the struggle is beautiful, but because it changes you. It makes you someone new. Someone stronger. Someone softer in all the right places and tougher in the places you need to be.
Learning to See the Light
I didn’t become strong overnight. I cried. I screamed. I broke down in silence, behind closed doors. But slowly, I began to understand the lessons hidden inside the pain. Every difficult moment was teaching me something about life, about people, and myself.
I learned that patience is more powerful than reaction. That kindness is not weakness. That is the only person who will always love and stand by you… Is you. And that’s enough. I started to believe that every hard time I faced came with a message and a gift—if I was willing to look for it.
There were moments I wanted to give up, moments I felt negative, hopeless, and tired. But I reminded myself: if I keep crying, my world will stay full of tears. But if I get up, smile, and face what’s hurting me, maybe—just maybe—happiness will come knocking. And it always did, in the most surprising ways… sometimes through strangers, sometimes through unexpected kindness, and sometimes just through my own courage.
The Struggles That Shaped Me
The Lessons Hidden in Pain
Every struggle, no matter how painful, came with a lesson. And those lessons changed me. I learned that patience is not just waiting—it's trusting the process, even when the process hurts. I learned that being kind is not about being soft—it’s about being brave enough to stay gentle in a hard world. I learned to be grateful, even when my heart was heavy.
And above all, I learned that no one can love you the way you can. People may come and go. Some will lift you, others will break you. But the one person who is always with you, who wakes up and goes to sleep with you, who hears your thoughts and feels your emotions—is you. And that love matters more than any other.
Finding the Beauty in Darkness
Many people ask, “How can you find beauty in struggle?” The answer is simple but not easy—it’s all in how you look at it. Every difficult time I faced gave me two choices: I could drown in it, or I could grow through it. If I chose to keep crying, to keep blaming life, the pain stayed and brought more pain. But when I chose to accept, to learn, and to stand up again, the pain became a stepping stone.
Struggles taught me lessons that no book ever could. They taught me how to be calm, how to stop reacting in the moment and start responding with wisdom. There was a time when I was highly emotional, reacting quickly and losing people along the way. But I changed. I became calmer, softer. And in that calmness, I found clarity.
How I Stay Positive Even in Pain
There are still days when I feel weak, when negativity tries to take over. I’m human. But I’ve trained my mind to pause. I remind myself that crying won’t change things—it’ll only make me feel worse. I’ve realized that if I want light, I have to stop sitting in the dark. So, I stand up. I smile. I face the day.
I believe we receive what we give to the world. If we keep giving sadness, more sadness finds us. But if we choose to smile through our tears, somehow, the universe sends us moments of happiness. It might not be immediate, but it comes.
The War Called Life
When I was a young girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed that love would always win, that good people would never be hurt, and that life would be soft, full of magic and gentle moments. I used to dream of a peaceful world, where family meant protection, where marriage meant love, and where friends meant forever. I thought life would be kind just because I was kind. I thought my pure heart would shield me from pain. But life had other plans.
As I grew older, I learned that life is not a fairy tale—it’s a battlefield. And no one comes out of it without scars. It’s not a war of swords or guns. It’s a war of silence, heartbreak, betrayal, disappointment, loneliness, and survival. It’s a war where people don’t die from bullets, but from broken promises. It’s a war where sometimes, the people you trust the most are the ones who hurt you the deepest.
Life tested me in ways I never imagined. It took away the soft dreams of a young girl and handed me the harsh reality of a woman who had to fight—to protect herself, to heal herself, to rebuild herself over and over again. I had to let go of the fairy tales and hold on to my inner strength. I had to understand that life doesn’t promise fairness, but it does offer lessons.
Even in the middle of all this pain, I was faced with a choice: I could live in sadness, or I could live in joy. I could carry my pain like a burden, or wear it like a badge of honor. And I chose joy, not because life suddenly became easier, but because I decided not to let it break me. I chose to smile, even when my heart was heavy. I chose to forgive, not because they deserved it, but because I deserved peace. I chose to wake up every day and keep going, even when nothing made sense.
The war of life doesn’t stop. There are still battles. There are still tears. But now, I fight differently. I fight with grace. I fight with kindness. I fight with the belief that I was not born to be defeated—I was born to rise. And no matter how many times life knocks me down, I will rise again, stronger and softer at the same time.
Because in the end, the most powerful warriors are the ones who have suffered deeply but still choose to love, to laugh, and to live.
Angels in Disguise: The Power of Strangers
Looking back, the most beautiful part of my journey is how help always came—even when I felt most alone. But it didn’t always come from the people I knew. It came from strangers. Unknown faces who offered kindness with no reason.
Like the man who helped me with my luggage during a hard journey. Or the doctor who treated me when I had a serious liver infection and didn’t take a single rupee from me. She said she saw her daughter in me. I will never forget her words. These little moments reminded me that the world still has gentle souls.
In every storm, I found a part of myself I never knew existed. And through every struggle, I became the woman I was always meant to be.
