To the seasons of life
Deal with every event in strength for yourself, notas an example. Control emotions, buy resolve. Never say I somehow deserved that! The raw of edge of challenge is random, unless you seek it’s path. Your strength is not to judged but used as profit for your time of life that you must satisfy to be all that you are. KDG
