“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

The dichotomy of life is often difficult to reconcile and impossible to ignore. Its contradictions are glaring; its beauty, breathtaking.

Life’s pain is inevitable. Its strength, unyielding.

Those who learn to embrace its beauty with the struggle have learned, and even mastered life’s greatest secret. They choose to repurpose their pain instead of being dominated by it.
