The resilience she’s built up from overcoming her pain will help her go so far
Well, Bella Rena made it!
She got through the hardest year of her life, only fell apart a few hundred times, and came out stronger for it.
She’s pretty awesome.
And so are all of you, for reading every week, following her journey, and ensuring that she (okay, me) kept it real.
I think the story was as real as can be. Maybe the setting of ballet and dance was pretty particular, but the feeling of loving something that you’re good at, of relying on it, and using it as a crutch of sorts — that, I figured, is as universal as it gets.
And losing something you love… well, most of us have been there. Be it a childhood friend, a grandparent, or a favorite piece of jewelry, it’s hard not to keep looking for something you know is no longer there.
This one’s in print. Some of our best stories live in the magazine — subscribe to get Mishpacha every week.
