Arrival

I often ask myself would I choose to live a life I know will include immense pain, if I know it will also include immense joy? I want to say yes, I know the right answer is yes, yet I always hesitate to say yes. Perhaps knowing the future doesn’t make the present less meaningful - it lets you consciously embrace it more fully, gives you a deep understanding of life’s full spectrum - joy, love, grief, and loss. And we are meant to experience life’s full spectrum.
