The Wildflower’s Truth

Image
Life, at times can be tough and unpredictable, but know that within you is a strength as resilient as a wildflower. Wildflowers bloom on rocky mountains, in dry fields, and in places no one ever thought they could survive. They don’t wait for perfect conditions—they rise, stretch toward the sun, and flourish despite the odds. Like a wildflower, you can bloom even when life doesn’t nurture or water you. Whether you blossom early or late, you are still a flower—beautiful and worthy of admiration. Yes, challenges, setbacks, and frustrating days will come, but remember that you did not come this far just to give up now. Hard times are only visitors, and like visitors, they will eventually leave. Even if life steps on you, you can rise again. Your season to bloom is coming. But here is the other truth.

Yes, friendship is valuable, but it is not the only, neither is it the ultimate ingredient that makes a marriage last. Your best friend might know your deepest secrets and accept you as you are, but that doesn’t automatically create romantic spark or long-term compatibility. Marriage needs attraction, emotional intimacy, and shared goals. Two people can be amazing friends but struggle with the day-to-day realities of marriage, such as finances, family expectations, or conflict resolution. Some of the strongest marriages didn’t start as close friendships. Many couples begin as acquaintances, coworkers, or even strangers and build friendship after love and commitment have taken root. Friendship can grow over time, shaped by shared experiences, respect, and the effort you put into understanding each other. Instead of focusing on marrying your best...
