I cried a lot yesterday…
And I’ve also cried a lot today…
I’ve been tired and continue to become more exhausted…
And things feel extremely hard to navigate right now…
Now let me save you the unnecessary click if you’re thinking that reading this post is going to give you some insight into what’s going on in my life right now… because it’s not…
But earlier today I was thinking about how a really good friend of mine has often told me that I was “built to do hard things…”
Built..
to…

hard…
things…
What the actual f*ck???
I’ve actually secretly hated when he’s said this… but when I look back at my life… I am often the person who is walking through ten million fires all at once hoping to just get burned instead of getting incinerated…
I am also often the person that gets told that someone “couldn’t imagine…” walking through whatever my current crisis is…
I’ve heard that three times in the past 36 hours alone…
But the wild thing about being “built to do hard things”… is that I’ve also lived a pretty dope life where I succeed at whatever I set out to…
I’ve also been able to accomplish goals that people have tried to talk me out of working towards because it was too difficult for THEM to navigate… but clearly we are not the same…
And in this season of stretching…
and waiting…
and working towards achieving my current goals…
And in this season where I’ve actually questioned if I’m capable of accomplishing what I’m setting out to do right now…
I realize that I have already been prepared to withstand the hard things that I am enduring right now…
And I know that one day I will look back on this period of time as another season where my mind can’t wrap itself around how I stayed sane or stayed the course…
And I know that because I’m continuing to be built to do hard things…
