Personal Struggle Quotes

“There exists a universal order that we each play a distinct role in carrying out. Light always struggles to emerge from darkness. Each of us is the bearer of our own lantern. We find ourselves when we realize our place in an interconnected world. The struggle to pierce the darkness that shrouds us from realizing a state of perceptive awareness is the biggest part of both our individual story and our communal storyline.”

“I always knew the mountains would take something from me one day.
I wrote about their fine lines, their graves, and their shades.

Then, one day, I looked up upon the gray—
it takes everything and then nothing,
even if you offer them everything.

You can’t survive it,
you live with it—
in small pieces,
small steps,
small moments.

All along, it takes you,
survives you—
you’ll never understand it.”
― Laura Chouette
