Love this Vaishali! Really beautiful article and the meaning we attach to the events of our lives have the ability to create or destroy. Victor Frankl’s book and message has impacted me profoundly and I appreciate the insights you share in such a wise and vulnerable way.

It’s a gift that you’ve transmuted your experience with pain into this share (and more). Reminds me of a quote that a friend shared with me just this week “I have made so much beauty from my pain sometimes I can’t tell the difference.” (quote by Emory Hall). I’m not intending to suggest that this is the meaning everyone would, or should, ascribe to their own experience with pain, but the intention of searching for “meaning” still carries through, just as you’ve offered here. Blessings and thank you Vaishali, for the chance to reflect on my own experience with pain through your transparency and reflection🙏
