When times are rough it cam be difficult to focus on the the light at the end of the tunnel. 2021 and 2022 were extremely tough years for me and my family. We were faced with a tremendous amount of loss and sadness that took time to heal. Flash forward two years and I am now starting to heal and understand that the universe had a plans for us. Although I was unable to understand why things were occurring in my life at that time, I had no idea there was something so beautiful wanting for me on the other side.
Reflecting back I like to think of it as a rainbow after a very heavy thunderstorm.
The sound above Thunder Strikes, Lightning Storm, Claps_1 by PNMCarrieRailfan showcases the pain and rough time I had to make it through to get to the other side with all the blessings. On the contrary Rainbow Island by CEBImagery is a great of example of the abundance of blessings that the past two years have brought me. Its the beautiful sight and after a heavy storm that was endured.
I appreciate the self-reflection in this post. The rainbow is always a powerful image and metaphor for hope, especially after a thunderstorm as violent as this one sounds. I am glad you found that hope!
Hi Ciara! I really love the contrast between the rainbow and the thunder. The thunder provides such a strong emotion of struggle, while the rainbow provides a strong feeling of hope. You did a really good job pairing these two together.
