Without the sand - there would be no Pearl!
Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? — Job 2:10
Bittersweet - The idea that in all things there’s both something broken and something beautiful; A shadow of hope in every heartbreak!
Bitter sweet is the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul.
Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet is nice enough, but bitterness is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bitterness is courage, gutsy, earthy.
