Everything In Life Is Two-Sided

There is a good reason why we can't expect to feel pleasure without ever feeling pain; joy without ever feeling sorrow; confident without ever feeling fear; calm without ever feeling restless; hope without ever feeling despair: there is no such thing as a one sided coin in life, with which one can buy a pain-free, trouble free existence.

“It is very hard to show up as the person you want to be when you are surrounded by an environment that makes you feel like a person you aren’t.”
