“Even when it was unfair and heartbreaking, dark and full of the unknown, life was still worth living.
Because rewards could be found among the chores. Little pieces of enjoyment that would come to mean something. Darkness always gave way to the light if given time, and while some heartbreaks may never completely heal, living allowed there to be space for new sources of happiness and pleasure.
Life was worth living even when it was full of unfairness and injustice. When the heart felt light and when the chest was too tight to breathe.
Because death was final.
The absence of choice.
And life was a collection of new beginnings.
Full of unending choices.”
― A Fire in the Flesh
