Quote of the Week: “Life…is dear to me…”

Happy Monday! I hope you’ve been thriving, but if not, maybe this quote can encourage you. It’s from the novel Frankenstein, which is a great read if you have the time.

“Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.”

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Life is hard. I think we’ve all figured that out by now, but just because it has numerous difficulties doesn’t mean it’s not worth living. If Frankenstein’s monster can figure that out, then maybe we can too. Whatever you’re going through right now, whether it’s good or bad, I hope you can see just how precious your life is. You are a work of art made with a purpose, so keep fighting for it. Don’t let the season you’re in define your entire life. There’s a lot more ahead, so keep going.

May you have a beautiful week filled with hope and surrounded by the people you love.
