You have survived your entire life

If you are reading this,
you have survived your entire life until this point.
You have survived traumas, heartbreak, devastation,
the different phases of life.

And here you are.
You go, motherfucker.
You’re awesome.

Throw roses into the abyss

…throw roses into the abyss and say:
here is my thanks to the monster
who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

And once the storm is over

And once the storm is over,
you won’t remember how you made it through,
how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure,
whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm,
you won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm’s all about.
- Haruki Murakami
