Added 2020-03-24 08:03:31 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite pictures I posted on Instagram last year. I felt like I was being real, and not hiding behind a smile. So much raw emotion and just allowing it to show through. This past year has been one of tremendous growth and inner reflection for me. Even though it has been challenging, it has also been unbelievably good. "You do not get to choose the events that come your way nor the sorrows that interrupt your life. They will likely be a surprise to you, catching you off guard and unprepared. You may hold your head in your hands and lament your weak condition and wonder what you ought to do. To suffer, that is common to all. To suffer and still keep your composure, your faith, and your smile, that is remarkable. Pain will change you more profoundly than success or good fortune. Suffering shapes your perception of life, your values and priorities, and your goals and dreams. Your pain is changing you." - David Crosby
