I believe in joy
And I believe in anger
In so much as it helps you navigate change.
I believe in working hard
In so much as it serves you in meeting your dreams.
I believe in sacrifice
As you choose what you forgo today
For a better tomorrow.
I believe in sorrow
In so much as it helps you
Appreciate what you have,
In the midst of the loss and
As you decide to begin again.
Even after you’ve been broken,
Yes, you must begin again,
And again and again.
