Survival is a Talent

I once confided in her that I wasn’t good at anything. She looked at me with eyes full of understanding and said, “Survival is a talent.”

In her gentle words, I found a profound truth. It isn’t always the grand achievements or celebrated skills that define our worth. Sometimes, it’s the quiet resilience, the strength to keep moving forward when the world feels heavy and hope seems distant. Surviving, enduring, and continuing to find beauty in each dayβ€”that itself is a remarkable talent.

Her affirmation was a reminder that my existence, my persistence, is a testament to an inner strength that often goes unnoticed. In every breath and every step, there is a silent victory, a quiet triumph over adversity. Survival is not just an act; it is an art, a testament to the human spirit’s unyielding will to persevere. β€οΈπŸ™πŸΎ
