A good place to be
It’s tough. But it’s a good tough. Not everything is supposed to be easy. In fact, the things that come easy are often the easiest to go too.
The things that are tough stay with you, and they help you grow. Tough things that help you grow are a good tough, and they should be sought after. The things that ‘put hairs on your chest’ as my dad used to say. Tough, but a good tough. Tough in the moment, but otherwise a good place to be.
