Impermanence

Listening to someone whose childhood life was littered with the memory of domestic violence is truly heartbreaking. The fact that she had to show a brave face outside of home, school, and with friends tell a daring situation of unbelievable magnitude.

Our great challenge is coming to grips with impermanence. Pain, grief, traumas and disappointments like almost everything else, are impermanent. No matter our circumstances, we are ultimately responsible to rebuild and persuade our happiness.

The silver lining to this story is to realize how truly a balanced, giving,and tolerant person she has turned up to be.
