❤︎ Save it by favoriting it! 🇺🇦 thank you for supporting me and my family in Ukraine.

Life of a Phoenix is cyclical. Even though a Phoenix is known as a powerful creature, it has a superpower to resurrect which is not possible without being burnt beforehand. Sometimes when someone withstands the hardiest time in one's life the only thing one can rely on is the thought of rising from the ashes like a Phoenix does. Phoenix has become a symbol of regeneration that gives people the hope to withstand all challenges. We should always remember that before a new cycle begins, even the Phoenix must burn down first.
