Home Is Where the Bodies Are

Death reminds us that life isn’t infinite and that one day, our time will come too.

She told me flowers reminded her of life—beautiful, delicate, and short-lived.

There’s not many things you can count on in life, but that . . . is one thing you can count on. It will rise and it will fall—no matter what. Don’t matter if you’re sick or sad. Don’t matter if there is war or there is peace. Don’t matter if you see it or you don’t. That sun. You can count on it.

But sometimes it’s the bad things in life that make us feel the most alive.
