How finding meaning in the pain comforts you

You heard this sentence before:
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”


I’m almost sure though you don’t know where it stems from. It was first written by a pretty well known philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in 1888. Cool right?


Anyway the quote is pretty self explanatory, it’s meant to make sense of pain and tell you you’re growing from those bad experiences. And well that’s true I suppose. We’re diving a bit deeper into that today, because sometimes I get this feeling like there is a version of me looking from above deciding to make me go through some pretty uncool stuff so I get to be who I wish to be. Sounds pretty crazy maybe, but it’ll make sense. 


Maturity is something I believe we all can agree to be good. It shows experience, through maturity you know how to act properly when something is going on, you know what’s best. 

And as of right now, as most people, I’m constantly working to be a better version of me, more matured and experienced, with a ton of skills. 

The unfun part though comes from the fact that maturing is really about going through bad experiences. You can’t get more mature regarding relationships if you never had one or only had positive ones. You can’t get more mature regarding tough times if your life has only been a fun ride. There is no way to avoid getting more mature because we all eventually go through something which isn’t fun. And that’s why I’m sure many people find comfort in the quote from Nietzsche.

It gives a meaning to your pain and sometimes even gets you to be grateful for the hard times.


Now back to what I said about having a version of me looking from above. Maybe you’ll even feel this way too. 

When I come to think of the things I had to go through, even current ones… I don’t know if it sounds delusional but for me at least it makes complete sense for them to have happened considering where I want to be, and that version of me “making” me have to go through them so at the end I’m satisfied. I talked about this before, the butterfly effect, but some of the worst times of my life eventually led to some pretty good conclusions, those making the hard times worth it. In some ways I imagine you can relate.

Your life isn’t supposed to end because of what you’re going through, I can assure you that. And if it isn’t supposed to end, try finding meaning in the pain. It will make things better at least mentally. 


That’s it for today’s episode. See you tomorrow with something new!

Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com Everyone changes  Growth in your bones  Understanding life takes time  To blossom in flowers  Your flower is your development Having to learn a lesson  To change who you are  Wanting something so bad  But knowing that it will take time  To find that love one  God knows your story  So try to live up every moment  You know everyone loves you You need to love yourself  Let yourself change  Become someone who is better  Than the previous one  Understand life is one step closer  So don’t like anything stop  From becoming a flower of your former self  Bloom into something else  Entirely.

Pieces from the past

 Today's post is brought by: mayi – Medium Go check more of their work and come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com We haven’t spoken since that last time, which is honestly impressive considering how committed the universe has been to arranging near-misses. We grew up together, knew the same people, lived in the same circles, and even after ending up hundreds of miles apart, there’s always someone who knows you, knows me, or knows someone who knows both of us. At this point, I’m starting to suspect we’re just poorly written recurring characters. I have my own life now and so do you. There are new people, new routines, new problems, and presumably better things to think about. There is absolutely no practical reason for either of us to be thinking about the other. Which is why, every once in a while, I consider deleting that playlist. You know the one. The playlist I made entirely of songs you int...

Don't overcomplicate

Today's post is brought by: H. Tayrone Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com I had a realization these days and it genuinely made my work and many other aspects of my life easier. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as they seem. Perhaps you had that feeling too before. I noticed that if I stop thinking of things as a really complicated puzzle I manage to make more progress. Seriously, for so long I asked myself what people do that I’m not doing.  Why do some things just come to people so easily when it is so "complicated" to get the thing? These “things” tend to be building projects, behaving certain ways, or just achieving something. And I believe for the longest time I over complicated all that. Everything had to be thought out for it to work to the point I felt like there was something wrong with me because I was trying so hard to make it work and other people didn’t seem to try an...
