bittersweet

Pleasure alloyed with pain. It’s the weirdest feeling to experience. To be sad and happy at the exact same time. To literally be wiping away a constant flow of tears but smiling because you know everything is going to be okay. Or somehow you’ve convinced yourself that it will be. You don’t really know where the strength comes from but you’re glad it’s there. Because if it wasn’t, there would be nothing stopping you from completely falling apart. 

Sometimes we need to be hurt in order to grow. We must fail in order to know.  We must lose in order to gain. Some lessons are learned best through pain.

Because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
