the good thing about the truth is it’s true, and there’s no arguing with the truth. You may not like it, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

“Yes.” There was no doubt. “I love her beyond the universe and back. I love her from this world to the next.”
I guess that’s the thing about a hero’s journey. You might not start out a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change, which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes you, whether or not you know it, and whether or not you want it to. I had changed.
Maybe there isn’t a meaning to life. Maybe there’s only a meaning to living.
