Endure.
For a long time I thought that word meant suffering — just dealing with life because everyone suffers and nobody is special in that regard.
But over time the meaning changed for me.
Enduring isn’t about fighting the current forever. It’s about realizing you are part of the current.
Life has hardship, but it also has good moments, small victories, strange experiences, and unexpected beauty.
Enduring means you stay in the water long enough to see all of it.
The wave isn’t only pain.
It’s the whole ride.
