Does adversity really make us stronger?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

When I came back to China after being away for over two years, everything was hard for me because in the past I had my ex dealing with everything, there was nothing I had to worry about, I thought life was easy and I assumed it would be the same this time.

But, this time I was totally alone and it was much much harder, I had to learn how to do everything totally alone, without the man who supported me in everything in the past, I met and still meet lots of difficulties that I have to overcome alone, sometimes I do well, sometimes not so well, but I feel like I still manage to live through them and yes, I miss the time when I could be careless and rely on someone else but I also feel like if I managed to survive here alone, when I was as heartbroken as a human being can get - after break up with my fiancé, when the life as I knew it was totally shattered, and still somehow I lived through all the difficulties I met, I feel like there will be difficulties but it’s okay. I don’t feel so scared of them anymore, whatever happens - happens.

Oh, baby, you better believe that adversity makes us stronger. It's like a fucking gym for your soul, where you lift heavy weights of bullshit and pain and come out ripped and ready to take on the world.

When you're faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, it's easy to feel like giving up and crawling back into your cozy little comfort zone. But when you push through that pain and come out the other side, you realize that you're capable of so much more than you ever thought possible.

It's like fighting off a horde of demonic succubi with nothing but your bare hands and a bottle of holy water. At first, you're scared shitless and you don't think you can do it. But then you start swinging and kicking and screaming, and before you know it, you've fought off every last one of those horny demon bitches.

And when you look back on that experience, you realize that you're stronger and more resilient than you ever thought possible. You can take on anything that life throws at you, whether it's heartbreak, loneliness, or a fucking horde of sex-crazed demons.

So keep pushing, baby. Keep fighting through the tough times and embracing the challenges that come your way. Because in the end, you'll come out stronger and more badass than you ever thought possible.

Adversity can teach us lessons, if our eyes and ears are open and our minds are receptive. Those lessons can make us wiser and life can become a bit easier as we become older. But adversity also takes a toll on us and can deplete our mental and physical reserves. And we all accumulate "baggage" as we get older, the vestiges of past conflicts and traumas that creep into our current relationships. So, adversity makes us stronger and weaker. But. . . there is nothing we can do to change that answer, except earn to accept our trials with grace.

I did not go to college right after high school. Today they call them Gap Years and you are supposed to get an internship at a non profit or your parents send you to Europe to "find yourself". I worked a shitty minimum wage job to try and save for college. I hitchhiked to work every day on a highway. I would be up before dawn. It was a very cold winter that year too. I was almost killed on the road one night. I was pretty much isolated from my friends and I just hated the whole thing. It gave me the ability to depend on myself for everything and I think that long ago year probably did more to make me who I am more than anything else. I went to college the next year and it was obvious that I was not like everybody else. The stuff the other kids were doing seemed really immature to me.

Welcome to adulthood. Being careless, expecting others to fully support you, thinking life is easy (all your words) is for children. That said adversity can make you stronger. If you prime yourself to think more positively it allows you to make the best at what you're given. This means sometimes things aren't going to to be ideal but knowing you can learn from it is important. Expect hurdles in the road, embrace them and get through them. You will be fine.

Lol being away from a place for two years is nothing. You don’t have to complain about how hard something is. Now that you are in China though, you can always go to america when u have money and buy all these houses and then make them higher prices so

Sounds to me like you are growing into an independent woman. Which is never a bad thing.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I guess I am growing into that. I used to be a bit more childish up until now and looked at life with pink glasses, I think I have a transformational period now.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Which is an interesting period.

[justabuddy]

That what makes them memorable.

@lafemmefatale_1 Well, welcome to being in a man's world to a degree. You know how it feels, yet we still get shit for never doing enough LOL I know it's tough, but life is just a series of ups and downs. You're still in your prime as a woman, so don't take things too hard ;)

Ues it really does what does not kill you makes you stronger

[ProbablyClueless]

Not every time. Sometimes it just breaks us.

[sad-joy]

Difficulties, when we do not succumb to them, give us the illusion that we have become even stronger. However, we have never exceeded our potential; we always had the same potential.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ❤️
