My capacity to move through hurt, disappointment, rejection and pain really has come from the catalyst of hurt, rejection, pain, suffering, to overcome the things that are set before us so that we experience or overcome the obstacles that we consistently face in life. It requires a great depth of courage, inner strength and bravery even when we have none. There were points in time in my life where I did not believe that I had the capacity to keep moving forward with the circumstances in my life
And I know that that doesn't always mean you've merely felt only the good, right? I mean, realistically, whether it's in sense of any form of relationship, I think that the people who can really love and care the deepest have been hurt really bad. And obviously, I guess it's worth mentioning that people can love deeply without having experienced pain or loss. So maybe there's some natural influence of compassion

And I traveled to a lot in the country to find a job. So it's been five months since I'm here and I'm still out of a job, I'm still struggling, going through a lot of rejections for many surprises. And every time those rejections happen to me, I ask myself what's wrong with me? Or what should I do to overcome this pathway?

Thank you so much for sharing about your current life circumstance and being so open and vulnerable about what you're experiencing personally firsthand, no folks who have come abroad or immigrated to the US to look for opportunity. And I know that language is a very large barrier, unfortunately for many people

And I feel that sharing my experiences is meant to help at least one person, inspire one person to know that no matter what they face before them, no matter how difficult it is, it feels and it seems impossible to overcome, they can. A lot of times we want proof that it'll be okay. We want some sort of sign that everything will work out. We don't always get that

I am a person who, despite all suffering, hardship in many different forms of trauma, both in relationship, childhood, adulthood, I have to make the choice every day to know that I deserve more than what I've experienced. And it was not easy. There were times where I would laugh at a therapist or just scoff at anybody who believed in this kind of self care, self love mentality
