resiliency
if there is one lesson which i have learned from my short time here and from observing others, it's that humans are the most resilient beings. we can make the most of the worst situations. our humanity survives in even the most desolate of times and places. we can move on and build healthy lives even after destruction. families rebuild their lives after surviving war, women and men can have healthy relationships and experience love after domestic and sexual abuse, children can heal from trauma, and those who come from nothing can become world leaders.
our humanity is what makes us unique, but it's our resiliency that keeps us alive.
