Resilience

The secret to resilience

Is not being closed off

It’s not avoiding negative events altogether

It’s not “playing it safe”

Instead

It’s being open

Open to all experiences

Letting sad emotions come and go

Like the tides in the sea

And holding on

To the happy memories

In fact creating

Small happy moments every day

With your loved ones

Afterall they are the ones

Who can pick you up and hold you close

And nourish you with love

When your heart was broken

No matter how small these happy moments may be

They are enough

To remind your soul

That you are okay

We are together in this

And everything will be fine
