Still Standing....#241

A Life That Refuses to Break

If my life were a Netflix series, the title would be “Still Standing.” Not because everything has always gone smoothly or because I’ve had a perfect journey, but because no matter what I’ve faced, pain, setbacks, or tough storms, I’m still here. I’m still rising. And most importantly, I’ve learned to stand firm through it all.

Life doesn’t come with a manual. You can plan all you want, but sometimes things just don’t go your way. I’ve had moments where I questioned everything, times when I felt like giving up, like the weight of life was too much to carry. Things I trusted fell apart. People I cared about hurt me. Dreams I chased slipped through my fingers. But in every one of those painful moments, I didn’t stay down for long. Somehow, some way, I kept going.

What’s strange is that looking back now, I can say those hard moments became my greatest teachers. The pain taught me patience. The losses taught me value. The betrayals taught me boundaries. And the setbacks? They taught me to slow down and trust the process. It’s true what they say life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. Every single struggle shaped me into someone stronger, wiser, and more grounded.

Being “unbreakable” doesn’t mean I’m made of steel. It means I can bend without snapping. It means even when I feel like I’m falling apart inside, I don’t let the world see me crumble. It means learning how to hold myself up when no one else can. That’s why I say I’m still standing, because the fact that I’m here, breathing, growing, and still pushing forward, is a kind of strength not everyone sees. But I know it’s there.

There’s something powerful about realizing that storms will always come, but you don’t have to be afraid of them anymore. I’ve reached a point in life where I no longer fear what’s next. I may not have control over what happens, but I know I have control over how I respond. And that’s where my peace comes from. That’s where my strength lies.

So whatever life throws at me next, whether it’s another challenge or another detour, I know I’ll be okay. I may get tired. I may cry. But I will not break. I’ll learn, I’ll grow, and I’ll rise again. Because that’s who I am. That’s what this story is about.
I'll Still be standing always.
