Our lives mirror this journey. We experience both challenging, uncertain times (our "darkness") and moments of joy, clarity, and opportunity (our "light"). Neither phase is something to fear or wish away. Instead, true growth comes from embracing and utilizing both. The darkness can offer introspection and resilience, while the light brings inspiration and progress. Like the seed, our fullest potential is realized when we learn to draw strength and lessons from every experience.
Let’s unpack this:
As a woman without children, this resonates deeply. There have been moments I've questioned my path, not because it felt wrong, but because the world sometimes made it seem like I was missing something essential. Over time, I've understood that not following the traditional script doesn't diminish my life's meaning. In fact, it's given me the space to grow into exactly who I was meant to be. There's a quiet power in living life on my own terms—and a deep sense of purpose knowing that doing so helps shift the narrative for others. I'm not just walking this path for myself, but also carving it wider for the women who will walk it after me. - Adriana Rodriguez-Baptiste
