“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”
This profound statement captures the essence of life: Even those closest to us—soulmates, parents, or children—may hurt us at times. However, their love, care, and presence often outweigh the moments of pain.
In relationships, maturity is realizing that love coexists with imperfection. A soulmate isn’t perfect; they may hurt you unintentionally, but the bond you share pulls you back together. Similarly, parents or children might disappoint, but their place in your heart remains secure because the love outweighs the hurt.
This philosophy extends beyond people. Life’s greatest pursuits—careers, dreams, creative endeavors—demand effort and come with setbacks. They aren’t always easy, but their fulfillment justifies the challenges. It’s about identifying what aligns with your values and committing wholeheartedly, despite the difficulties.
The essence of worth lies in perseverance. Whether it’s a person, a goal, or a dream, ask yourself : Does the beauty surpass the pain? If the answer is yes, it’s worth holding onto.
It’s going to be boring.
It’s going to be beautiful.
It’s going to show you what you believe.
It’s going to take your breath away.
It’s going to show you what this life is really made of.
It’s going to put lines on your face.
It’s going to ruin your favorite shirt. [1]
But somehow you still hold on to it. beauty and error. you just keep going.
May God grant me the wisdom to recognize the people and dreams that are worth suffering for, and the strength to hold onto them despite the challenges.
