What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

After an initial breakdown mixed with a little panic attack, I’d wipe my makeup mixed tears and do what I do best

Turn nothing into something .

There’s something about the pressure inducing idea of losing it all that gets me going. It kicks me into survival mode. I’ve been here before and perhaps this is why it feels familiar.

I’d be devastated sure, but I wouldn’t fold. I’d pull myself together and go out into the world confident that I could multiply whatever it is was I had and lost.

Behind the anger and sheer frustration, I’d try to treat such situation as an opportunity to gain something whether that’s a lesson or a possibility to gain something else I may have needed.

Navigating those waters is never fun but in the words of my dearest mother

“ You either sink or swim”
