Not saying that I’d wish hard times on anyone but life is not for the soft and the pristine. We become better versions of ourselves, more sufficient stronger. The pain in our lives that we survive, they make us stronger and make us fighters. READ ALSO: Girl Where do You Think You’re Going That pain is what makes you appreciate the beauty or notice it at all. I’ve told my girls from birth that beauty is pain and it’s true, just as you can’t hate without love you cannot fully comprehend beauty in life without having survived the pain. It’s everything I feel, believe and lived. I was struck because, when I actually paid attention to the lyrics, it’s so familiar. It’s about persistence and growth and never giving up and it is beautiful.

It’s a strong song of overcoming life and becoming who you are meant to be. I’m glad my girls are singing it loud and fiercely because it deserves at least that. As I listened to Believer, it was as if I was hearing the song for the first time ever and now, I can never unhear it. But somehow, as a result of my 13 years of living in a mom coma, from which I am just recently waking, those words have been reduced to just the choruses. I’m a writer, words mean everything to me.

The funny thing is as a tween/teen and even into my twenties, I lived and died by lyrics. I never listened to the words, not like I did this morning. It’s a catchy tune but I never paid attention to the lyrics. My girls “anthem” sing Imagine Dragons Believer, at the top of their lungs, every time it comes on the radio.
