Bent but not broken is an expression used to describe strong people who, although encountering great hardship, manage to maintain their positivity, endurance and spirit.
We sometimes go through life getting knocked down at different points. Just because it is part of our reality doesn’t mean that it has to wreak havoc on our lives. There are lessons in the hard times, there can be beauty in the struggle, and we still become whom we want to be despite the trials of our journey.
If after everything, you’re still breathing then, you’re not broken! Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them. Opportunities are popping up in every corner. It is often these opportunities that pull us from our comfort zone to bend into the unknown, where we truly find ourselves but we must ensure we do not break.
