Ernest Hemingway once wrote: “The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside.”
This truth is raw and universal. Life doesn’t stop when our hearts are heavy, our minds are fractured, or our spirits feel like they’re unraveling. It keeps moving—unrelenting, unapologetic—demanding that we move with it. There’s no time to pause, no pause for repair, no moment of stillness where we can gently put ourselves back together. The world doesn’t wait, even when we need it to.
What makes this all the harder is that no one really prepares us for it. As children, we grow up on a steady diet of stories filled with happy endings, tales of redemption and triumph where everything always falls into place. But adulthood strips away those comforting narratives. Instead, it reveals a harsh truth: Survival isn’t glamorous or inspiring most of the time. It’s putting on a mask of strength when you’re falling apart inside. It’s showing up when all you want to do is retreat. It’s choosing to move forward, step by painful step, when your heart is begging for rest.
But we persevere. That’s the miracle of being human—we persevere. Somewhere in the depths of our pain, we find reserves of strength we didn’t know we had. We learn to hold space for ourselves, to be the comfort we crave, to whisper words of hope when others won’t. Over time, we realize that resilience isn’t loud or grand; it’s a quiet dolt, a refusal to let the weight of life crush us completely.
Yes, it’s messy. Yes, it’s exhausting. And yes, there are days when it feels nearly impossible to take another step. But even then, we move forward. Each small step is a testament to our resilience, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we’re still fighting, still refusing to give up. That fight—that courage—is the quiet miracle of survival.
What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn as an adult, and how has it shaped who you are today?
Meanwhile, Fifty Years Ago:
50 years ago, children were gentle with their parents. Today parents have to be gentle with their children.
50 years ago, children respected their parents. Now parents have to respect their children.
50 years ago, marriage was easy but divorce was difficult. Nowadays it is difficult to get married but divorce is so easy.
50 years ago, we got to know all the neighbours. Now we are strangers to our neighbors.
50 years ago, people had to eat a lot because they needed the energy to work hard. Now we are afraid to eat fatty foods for fear of the cholesterol and hypertension.
50 years ago, only one person worked to support the whole family. Now all have to work to support one child.
50 years ago, people loved to study and read books. Now people love to update their status on social media...
