Death is the absence of Life.

We all have our moments of fear, joy, suffering, hopefulness, insecurity and being in love... And we know what it means to hold on. We don't need reminders. It is like an instinct... I guess? Yet at the same time, it is a choice that we have to make. To grip tight and hold fast with all our might or to simply release our hands and let go. Both takes courage... loads of it.

At the end of the day, darkness is just an absence of light. Similarly, sorrow is just an absence of joy.

Be brave, be strong.

I have learnt that it is never a crisis in your studies, relationships, health... but a crisis in your faith. My friend once told me that faith shines the brightest in the most trying of times. Till now, I still remember word for word.

Let's learn to stir ourselves up and encourage ourselves. When things don't change for the better, we do. :)
