Only In

Only in my suffering
Did I discover lasting pleasure and joy

Only as the result of my brokenness
Did I find my true beauty

Only because of my oppression
Did I finally understand the delights of freedom

Only by traversing the darkness
Did my light begin to shine its brightest

Philosopher, artist, writer, teacher, student, and avid tea connoisseur. I share the philosophical beliefs I’ve found comfort in during the challenges I’ve faced in life as I’ve discovered beauty in brokenness, light in the darkness, and hope and love again after tragedy and loss.
