"As life quickly unravels, we realize the things we love. We comprehend that melancholy thoughts and uncertainties actually enhance life with unique flavor, and sometimes these states of mind can be more valuable than a life of clarity. We cling to the constant promises that we trust to be true even if the promise is extremely vague in seasons. We find people need to be loved, and we are the souls to pour it out."
