I am a lump of coal beneath tons of pressure...
Life has been overwhelming these past few weeks, and it's challenging not to feel like I am going to buckle under the tremendous weight of it all and shatter into a million pieces. I have lived my whole life being told and believing that I am fragile and weak, and yet somehow, perhaps by the grace of God, I am still alive and kicking, bigger and stronger than before. The obstacles and challenges of life are meant to test us, non? In that case, perhaps I am not made of glass after all... Perhaps I am instead that piece of coal, ready to be transformed into a completely new entity... a diamond... clear, brilliant, solid, strong. I have stood the test of time, and this will be no exception.
