a thought for food

"the most terrible and beautiful and interesting things happen in a life. for some of you, those things have already happened. whatever happens to you belongs to you. make it yours. feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. let it nurture you, because it will." -sugar-
*from here

all this time of growing into my skin and heart i have often wondered, why? why was i blessed with this? or why must i endure this?

and it has all nurtured me. the good and the bad, the sweet and tasteless and bitter.

this quote inspired me to keep feeding myself a slice of life every day, to swallow knowing each ounce of laughter and heartache makes me who i am.
