"Failure builds character." - George Lucas
Life is synonymous with loss. Nothing lasts forever in the grand scheme of things and our losses are usually out of our control anyway. It's the natural order. You try to change it as an arrogant teenager who thinks they can take on the entire planet with their idealism but come to accept it and navigate it as a much wiser adult in merely a few drastic years.
Sure, loss is something I've learned to deal with over my two decades and some change, given the heartbreaks of the many deaths, breakups, falling outs, and aspirational setbacks that my times have been riddled with but I've always been of the mindset that if you can achieve or gain something once, you can always do it again if you're strong enough. But only if you're strong enough.... and that's what seperates the adults from the children: The ability to dust yourself off no matter what you lose without whining about it.
