Thriving Through Hurt

Writer's picture: Abby Laine MendezAbby Laine Mendez



Life is a journey of ups and downs, and I try my best every single day to keep moving forward. I have always been doing my best, even when the path ahead seemed unclear or daunting. Deep down, I hold onto the belief that one day, I will reach my dreams. That belief keeps me going, even when the road gets tough.


My plans don’t always unfold the way I envision. Life has a way of throwing unexpected twists and turns, but I’ve come to realize that God’s plans are always better—so much better and more beautiful than I could ever imagine. In those moments of surrender, I see how things fall into place in ways I couldn’t have orchestrated myself.


Yes, people judge me. Sometimes, it’s even the ones closest to me. It hurts—I won’t deny that. But I’m learning to let go of those judgments because I know myself better than anyone else ever could. The pain of being misunderstood or criticized often leaves me in tears at first, but that’s never the end of my story. I’ve realized that I thrive in hurt. From those tears, I gather strength. I rise, again and again, because that’s who I am—resilient.


Life hasn’t been easy, but it’s also filled with beauty. I’ve started to appreciate the little things that come my way—the small joys that make the hard days a little brighter. Lately, I’ve found solace in painting and coloring. Art has always fed my soul, and returning to it feels like rediscovering a piece of myself. It gives me the energy to keep going, even when everything else feels overwhelming.


I’d like to take a moment to commend myself. Despite the challenges, I get back up every time. I’ve learned to honor my efforts and to be proud of my resilience. Things will get better—I know this. As long as I have art to nourish my spirit, the people who believe in me to support me, and God to guide me, I can keep moving forward.


I believe I am special, not because of what I’ve done but because of the journey I’m on. My path is unique, and I’m convinced that something extraordinary lies ahead. Every step I take, every challenge I face, is preparing me for that beautiful destination.
