Growth is such a simple but very deep word. "You are the best version of yourself than ever before on planet earth". This is one of the many affirmations that I tell myself every morning. I believe that all negative and positive experiences are necessary and part of life. These experiences help us all to grow, learn and see life differently in every aspect. Growing up, I knew that I was different not only physically but socially because I did not fit in with my family. 2022 was the year that I found out that I was adopted. Anybody would think that a 28-year-old woman would be mentally prepared to hear this truth. I was not devastated but thankful. I thanked my mother and father for making me part of them. At first, of course, it was challenging to figure out which questions I wanted to ask first. I realized that none mattered. I was curious about my nationality, mother, father, other family members, cultural background, and most importantly the big question "why?" I spend many nights wondering what to express, and which emotions to show. I also saw myself as the therapist who gave many advice and guidance to my clients during sessions. I felt like I needed guidance but I just knew that not many could relate. I thought again "Is this how my clients feel?" I learned to see life differently but also applied my own advice. I found different strategies to cope and I was proud of the person that I have become. Resilience was a word that we constantly use in my field. However, this was something that I actually learned to practice in real life. I have learned to appreciate all the little and big accomplishments. I have gained to connect with many clients on different levels and be more understanding and empathetic with others. This life event has shown me not only personal growth but also professional growth. Although this experienced changed my life I know that I will always be the same caring, thankful and happy person that I have been. I would love to share with the world and especially with younger generations that these life events should not be seen as a crisis but as a blessing. One of the main statements that will remain with me forever is what my mother whispered to me "We picked you to be our daughter, and we would not change that for the world". I want individuals to know that regardless of the situation we have to see the positive more than the negative because there is not much that we can change in the present moment.
