“Hard times are most definitely a blessings. I know when you’re going through one it’s so hard to see this or even be thankful for it, but my gosh it is something to be very very grateful for.

On days where I am struggling I kindly remind myself of tougher times, and the fact I got through them, I even remind myself of what I learned from them. It is so true, hard times grow you, so just ride them out. Try and find the strength to give thanks for your hard times.”

“A strong woman knows her worth. She knows her weaknesses and knows her strengths. She knows when to be a back bone but also knows when to be soft. It’s about balance. Knowing exactly who I am and what I stand for is probably the number one factor to truly being the human I am today.”

Biography

Simple Life

Nyssa Bovenkamp was born and raised in northern New South Wales. Where she lived with her parents and three of her siblings. Recalling the simplicity of her life as a child, Nyssa said; “We lived off the land & bathed in a creek. It didn’t matter what we wore because there was so much more to life.  In fact, I don’t think this was even a priority.”

Nyssa says this part of her life was her favorite. She remembers having no responsibilities, all she would do was dive in the creek and play in bushes. Along with helping her parents with the garden.

However, after several years, Nyssa and her family started moving places. After a while, they settled in a town which Nyssa describes as the place “where I’d grow to be an adult.”

It is in this new place where Nyssa started practicing sports and disciplines. Such as gymnastics and dancing, alongside occasional martial arts classes.

Dealing With Problems

Growing into an adult and facing day-to-day challenges, Nyssa found herself overwhelmed with everything that life threw at her.

In Nyssa’s own words; “It wasn’t until I became a young adult that I discovered the cruel side of life, like, backstabbing, bullying, hatred, watching people cheat on one another, dealing with those who disliked me for my looks. Geez, I was confused.

I guess life still baffled me for a good decade or so & I still found the ability to forgive, forget etc. I think my threshold was too high and my ability to just walk away and choose to be happy was too easy.” – Nyssa Bovenkamp

“Once upon a time I used to cry whilst thanking god for the hardship, I knew in my heart it was making me wiser, stronger, more resilient, even less judgmental.

I know I am a better more stronger, more softer, kinder, happier, thankful human because of the times that broke me. I often pray in silence alone, giving thanks for all the humans who’ve left scars on me, physically & mentally.”
