When we are in the darkness--whatever that is in our own particular story--the temptation is to believe that it's over, it's always going to feel this way, we will never be anywhere else or feel anything other than we do now. We fear the darkness, and for good reason. But it is in the darkness that new life begins.

You are not doomed to stagnation or stasis. You are not worth less than you once were. Against every last odd, you can hope anyway.
